DAILY HOMILIES #self-righteous

Have I been praying for something for so long that I now fail to realize that God has already answered my prayer? What is it that I am looking down upon now that I ought to be grateful for?

Our Christmas celebration could actually become just a charade, a waste of time and valuable resources if our hearts remain cold and unwelcoming to Jesus Christ – if we remain deep in sin refusing to repent yet pretending to be holier than thou – if by our lips we profess faith but with our actions we worship money. James would tell us: “Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.” (James 2:18).
