What's your problem?

Ecclesiastes 7: 20
There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.

The Bible is filled with verses that encourage and even give people a shot in the arm—the good kind of shot.
I guess I’m just driven to look for the deep hidden truth in God’s Word, and this is a verse we sometimes miss.

I know deep down inside, that I’m probably a better guy than most.
I think if I even looked for my wife’s opinion of me, she’d probably concur that I’m a pretty OK guy.

The problem with that theory, is that my wife isn’t going to judge me at the end of my life.
God is the One I have to give an account to.

I believe there are many people today, that would confess a Christian heritage.
Most of them would probably even say, they shouldn’t be classified as a sinner.

A.W. Tozier once said….
Most people don’t want to hear this, but we are not a part of a nice, neat order of creation...we are constantly in rebellion towards God, and that seems to be the order of the day.

Maybe that’s my problem?
Maybe I read too much of guys like, Tozier and Ravenhill and Spurgeon?

There isn’t a man on earth who ever does right?
Well, at least I have something to shoot for today…God’s righteousness…
