Welcome to Gospel Truth with Andrew Wamman, a teaching ministry emphasizing God's unconditional love and grace.

The special life teaching on the power of the cross is being broadcast

exclusively for our radio listeners. And now here's Andrew. You know we hear this verse used and we apply it to a lot of different things but

Paul was specifically talking about all of his morality, all of his goodness, all of his keeping the commands,

him doing all of these things, dotting every eye, crossing every tee,

his church attendance, his holiness,

his Bible rating, his fasting fasting his observance of everything every good thing is what he counted but done you know that's a terminology we don't use much but I guarantee it was offensive. It'd be like somebody else

saying something today that I won't say but we could substitute other words and the

Apostle Paul just gets up and says man all this stuff is like dung.

You know what we do with our dung?

We frame it and put it on the wall.

Let people see all of our degrees. Fall says it's like done. I actually had somebody take a big old cow patty and let it get hardened and then they framed it and put it on the wall.

Show to my degree from Bush University. Paul said all of the things that he used to glory in he

counted them but done and you know what there's a lot of people that this is

offensive today and they say but you don't understand man I've been

seeking the Lord a long time and I've done this and this and this.

Again there is benefit to seeking the Lord. I'm not saying we don't study the word and you don't

live holy. It's a matter of, I could take the flip side of this coin

and teach that you know what, unless you're faithful in a few things

and unless you do certain things,

you'll never see God really promote you and open up the doors because he

doesn't want to put a person out there that's going to misrepresent him and stuff.
