Oprah and her Cult of Self give me the spiritual creeps. Amy finally put it all into words for me – she’s right on. I agree that some churches need to reach out to the broken souls in a positive way, but it needs to be balanced with the reminder that we are NOT basically good and we cannot redeem ourselves. As my husband put it when we were looking for a new church, “I want to be reminded of what a rotten sinner I am and how much I need God.”

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips (Prov 27:2)

If he needs reminding, he's a better man than me.
