I would say that that's great for you, but for me (personally) it creates some issues/problems. Please take what follows as a comment to/on me personally & not what I think about others or anything. It's not to be casting judgement or anything on anyone other than myself.

For quite sometime, unbeknownest to myself, I had a very real problem with worshipping at the feet of my own holiness. It was in the form of an abstinence motivated out of nothing less than what I could do or attain to lord over others. It had it's roots based in a religion of God, where those who keep the rules were found in His favor & those who didn't burned, instead of a real working relationship w/the Author of my faith & very being as well as all else that exsists.

The knowlege of this helps me to know where I am weak & gives me a greater sense of who I am & who God wants me/created me to be. This, of course doesn't grant me a free pass to do as I which, but allows me to focus on that which I should pressing to. The very letter of the law is fulfilled because God has my heart, rather than fear-based obedience.

I was wondering, in all the time that you've known me, if you've ever heard me curse. I don't think so & you can correct me if I'm wrong, but I just think that my example should speak for itself. What do you think?
