Self-Righteousness is Dangerous!

I believe that the world is being deceived largely because of an epidemic of self-righteousness. We are being inundated by self-righteousness in sneaky, subtle ways like never before. And, we are being manipulated by it.

Make no mistake, brothers and sisters, self-righteousness is a sin. It is evil. Isaiah 64:6 says, "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."

What we don't want is to be blown away in the wind. We want our feet firmly planted on the ground.

Deception can blow us away. It's got a strong pull, especially when so, so, so many are following the same deceptions, lies and false gods. It's not a small thing to worship the wrong god. No, we don't all have the same God. There is only One God and One Mediator between God and man, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will prevent you from being deceived.

But, we need to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God and remember that we have no righteousness of our own at all.

Put a nice white, spotlessly clean robe on a man and it does not change his heart. (I'm giving you a clue as to who fits that bill. Who am I thinking about? He walks around in a long white dress, being cheered like a rock star by millions who adhere to his pompous piety.)

Self-righteous people do not need God.

It's uncomfortable to confess your weaknesses and sins and mistakes even to yourself. It's uncomfortable to accept that we are not perfect. But, I find that, after dumping it all on the Lord (not a priest or anyone else who is of human flesh, but only to God) that I start to feel a sense of reality. And I also feel a sort of power by confessing my faults to the Lord. It's very therapeutic.

God's way up is down. Trying to be something I'm not will make me even more uncomfortable.

In this world today, there is talk about "unity" and "peace" and "kindness", even "love". It's almost like the hippy movement of the sixties come back to life. It's ridiculous. Man needs to know his limitations.

Without God we are nothing and can of our own selves do nothing. That is, nothing good anyway.

Man is delusional if he believes he can bring about world peace. Man/woman is incapable of love without the Holy Spirit of God's love. We are human. We are not God. We will never in this flesh attain to equality with God, our Creator.

This is really kindergarten stuff, but when I look around at what's going on in the world today, it blows my mind that we are all so deceived and duped by these leaders proclaiming that we are going to have a wonderful, perfect, safe and peaceful New World Order.

Has it ever happened before in the history of the world? Um... let me think, there was Nero, ok, no. There was Mao Tsi Tung, nope. There was Hitler, not. There was the Roman Empire-- not so much. Ok, so, then, what makes us think, in our La-La Land imaginations that Pope Francis and Obama are going to be able to pull it off. Because what? Because technology? Because everyone's so much smarter these days?

I don't think so.

The best of man's self-righteousness is war. That's what he's good at. (I'm omitting the ladies here, but some of them are involved to a lesser degree.)

WAR.

THAT is the HISTORY of our planet.

WAR is our legacy.

THAT is what the New World Order will bring about. BIG TIME.

I'm just saying.
