  1. Self-righteousness is why we are content with superficial Christianity. Convinced we are okay, we do not long for the daily rescue of grace
  2. Self-righteousness is about being more aware of and irritated by the sins of others than you are conscious of and grieved by your own
  3. Self-righteousness looks outside to explain failure. The Gospel calls you to admit that what comes out of you has its birth inside you
  4. Self-righteousness makes you blind to yourself, but critical of others. Grace causes you to be honest with yourself and forgiving of others
  5. Since sin blinds, we don't know ourselves as well as we think we do - we all need people who will help us see ourselves with accuracy
  6. Unlike physically blind people who are aware of their blindness, spiritually blind people are not only blind, but blind to their blindness!
  7. Have you signed up for our weekly devotional? Subscribe to "Wednesday's Word" tonight - it comes out tomorrow morning: paultripp.com/subscribe
  8. Grace will work to destroy your claustrophobic little kingdom of one as it introduces you to a much better King.
  9. Be aware...the kingdom of self is a costume kingdom. It does a perversely brilliant job of masquerading as the kingdom of God
  10. The fundamental difference between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of self is captured by one question: Who resides at the center?
  11. Only 25 "What Did You Expect?" hardcover books left in stock, 50% off retail price at our online store. Don't miss out: paultripp.com/Store_ProductD…
  12. As God's children, we can get up daily and rest in the care of our heavenly Father while being blown away by our inclusion in his kingdom.
  13. Little kingdom living is an endless search for earthly treasure and unending focus on personal need; Grace calls you to a bigger kingdom.
  14. If you are in Christ, you've been chosen to transcend the borders of your own glory, to reach out toward a greater glory, the glory of God
  15. Corporate worship is designed to remind you that God is saving you from you...it's the sin inside you that's your greatest life problem.
  16. If you are God's child, you must remember that by grace you were rescued, are being rescued and will be rescued. From what? You!
  17. If you are God's child, you are intimately connected to and involved in the most important work in the universe; redemption.
  18. If you're God's child, you are loved today even if in your human relationships you are completely alone.
  19. If you're God's child, know that every time you deny the sin that grace daily targets, you've committed an act of redemptive irrationality.
  20. If you're God's child you don't have to fear your inadequacies because you have been blessed with strength vastly greater than your own.
