Their Goodness is in their Own Minds Only

Our problem in this country was in following the "experts" in believing self esteem was a good thing.

I argued with several "Christians" back in the 70's who believed we needed self esteem. I argued from the Bible and they still fought to defend it.

Even now as we see how it has ruined this culture those fighters back then do not remember how wrong they were, they still defend it. Their children are ruined, the country is ruined and the churches are ruined because of the "me first" mentality.

Even more astonishing is that these ruined people do not think they are ruined, they believe they are doing well. When compared to the Bible, their lives are selfish and ruinous no matter how they view themselves. After all, they were taught for years that they were special and nothing they do needs correction or modification. In short, they are gods in their own minds.

Romans 3:9-10 "9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin. 10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous,not even one. 11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.…"
