Some passages in the Bible are really difficult to accept. It might not be a difficult passage to understand intellectually, but it can be hard to let the message sink into your heart. When you hear the truth that there is none righteous, and there is none who does good, it's easy to feel offended. It's natural to want your good deeds to count for something. Today, Pastor Bill reminds us of the sobering truth that apart from Jesus, our “good deeds” are not really good. Good deeds can never take the place of the cross.
