Gospel-Driven Quote of the Week (6-29-09)
Jun 29, 2009
"There are two great temptations in the Christian life, and, in a certain sense, the better a man is the more liable he is to them. First, there is the temptation to try to earn God's favour, and second, the temptation to use some little achievement to compare oneself with our fellow men to our advantage and their disadvantage. But the Christianity which has enough of self left in it to think that by its own efforts it can please God and that by its own achievements it can show itself superior to other men is not true Christianity at all."
William Barclay, The Letters to Galatians and Ephesians, p. 21
