Luke 18:9-14 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’

But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Thank you. One day I need to share with you the story of how I spent a lifetime in the Baptist church without hearing what I needed to hear, but did hear eventually.. Driving on I-95 on a snowy evening, in heavy traffic, on the world's baldest tires, with no auto insurance. When Ravi Zacharias came on the radio, followed by John MacArthur, and I heard what my heart had longed to hear for so long.

The Lord builds HIS church by His means, in His own time.

What are YOU trying to say?

Aren’t you the one that is actually glad you’re not

like (what you misunderstand) us Catholics (to be).
