"Self-righteousness is being more aware of and irritated by the sins of others than you are conscious of and grieved by your own." - @PaulTripp
"As we advance through the centuries, light and life begin to decrease in the Church. Why? Because the torch of the Scripture begins to grow dim and because the deceitful light of human authorities begins to replace it." - Merle d'Aubigne (1794-1872), Reformation historian
"I believe in eternal security. God keeps me secure by making me desperate to be kept--through prayer and the fight of faith." - @John Piper
Paul preaching about Jesus in Antioch in Pisidia: "Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses" (Acts 13:38-39).
"And let us not take it into our heads either to seek out God anywhere else than in his Sacred Word, or to think anything about him that is not prompted by his Word, or to speak anything that is not taken from that Word." - John Calvin, Institutes, Book 1

Wow what a great reminder for the reformed world... Its ionic how are own egos can get in the way when we are contending for the righteousness of God . As if God needs us to contend for his righteousness anyway. By the way I feel that all of you at SG do such a great job at maintaining solid theology and a compassionate heart for a world in need of Jesus. Keep up the good work.
That is a perfect definition! Lord, deliver me daily from my self-righteousness!
