We have the choice to be "Self-righteous" or "God righteous". A self-righteous Pharisee named Simon is rebuked for his self-righteousness, and a repentant sinful woman is blessed because of her "God righteousness".  Jesus tells her that it's obvious her sins are forgiven because she loves Jesus so much, and he reassures her that indeed, her sins are forgiven. Simon made the wrong choice, the sinful woman made the right choice!

 Wisdom is proven by its children.  You have two options; God's wisdom and man's wisdom.  Choose God's wisdom.  In this passage, Jesus differentiates between two groups of people. People who proved the wisdom of God by belief and baptism, while those who proved they were following the wisdom of man by rejecting God and His baptism.

First Baptist Church celebrated its 100th anniversary.  Reverend Stephen May, a previous pastor, reminds us of the importance of continuing in our spiritual growth. After we accept Jesus Christ as Savior, we need to live and walk with Christ, to remain rooted and built up in Christ.
