Something Stinks! Pt. 2 - Self-righteousness

Turning odors into aromas. Matthew 6:33 NIV 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Luke 18:9-14 NIV The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector 9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ 13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ 14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Proverbs 11:2 NIV 2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Self-awareness kills self-righteousness. Increase your self-awareness around your self-righteousness.
