    Contributed by Dan Funk on Aug 28, 2014
     | 5,122 views

    Christ directed the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican Praying in the Temple to those who trusted in their own righteousness. We are more prone to trust in our own righteousness than we might think. This self-trust can keep us from being merciful.

I fast ...read more

    Easter Tuesday One of the realities of life is that our little minds are quite capable of self-delusion, and on a grand scale.
