Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck

Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter-by-chapter by chapter verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck continues his message,

the righteousness of Jesus Christ, as we pick up in John chapter 16, verse 10.

And now with today's study, here's Pastor Chuck.

Paul the apostle was able to testify of his own experience as a Pharisee

concerning the righteousness which is in the law. He said, I was blameless.

Jesus, though, said, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the Pharisees,

you're not going to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Don't you know that that blew the mind of the

disciples and caused them to say, well, foof, what's the useless? Let's go back fishing again. No way,

we're going to make that that I give up if you

think that's tough Jesus ended that message by saying be ye therefore perfect even

as your father in heaven is perfect that does it I'm through washed up hate to admit it but I'm through. Washed up.

Hate to admit it, but I'm not perfect.

You don't have to take my word for it.
