8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. – Ephesians 2:8-10

If God spares my life, before many years pass I will make it possible for a boy behind the plow to know more Scripture than you do. - William Tyndale

When we assign ourselves spiritual merit for merely thinking about serving others, we are vulnerable to a dangerous form of hypocrisy that is difficult to confront because the self-righteousness is dressed up in good intentions. We view ourselves as active participants in the he life and body of the Church when others know we are merely passive observers. This is a self-awareness gap. - Steve Moore (Who Is My Neighbor? pg 51)

Dear friends, do you think you’ll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? – James 2:14
