Now, I know so many "good" people (who don't know Christ). It is really hard to face the truth that there is not good apart from Him---the He is what gives goodness to something. Thanks for checking in.

Trying to live righteously in order to be righteous doesn't get the job done. I once dated a girl who told me she didn't want to receive Christ, because she didn't see any need for Him. She felt like she was good enough on her own. Soon thereafter we broke up, as I didn't want to date an unbeliever any longer. But, although she was a "good" person from all appearances... she was actually filthy before God. So am I without Jesus. I'm thankful that I have been made righteous through Christ.Laser Point Ministrieshttp://www.laserpointministries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
