When the Chariot of Guilt Rolls Into Town
“It is spiritually deadly to assuage that guilt by quickly cobbling together a patchwork quilt of our own merit. We become like a guy whose house is burning down and is scurrying to grab the valuables. Instinctively, we grab our morality, spiritual disciplines, and legacy of faithfulness.

Flashback: How to Avoid the Worst Form of Failure
We are so tempted to throw away all the big things to succeed at the lesser things. But we can’t deny it: Succeeding at lesser things at the cost of the greater things is the worst form of failure.
As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.
—R.C. Sproul
