When we talk about being and doing good, we create a level of earning power before God. Tim has several folks come up front to demonstrate their "earning power".  Tim hands out "money" for good things they have done, and likewise takes away money for bad things that have been done. We are always going to come up short or have an inflated view of ourselves when we do this.  Instead, we are able to stand before God because of Jesus and Him alone. There is so much freedom in His grace and mercy. None of us have that kind of earning power!
