Self Righteous

Heard a great sermon this evening. It was based on the "lost" parables. You know, the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. I must have heard preachers talk on the prodigal son passage more than a dozen times, but I never heard it like this! Turns out it isn't about the lost son at all ... it's about the amazing grace of the father .. or more specifically the Father.

The concluding points were for self examination. Am I like either of the two sons? Am I unrighteous? Am I self righteous? I pray I am no longer unrighteous, but must confess there are times I am self righteous.

How about you? Been on your knees lately?

I think I will head there right now....
