Comment:	I'm not sure why some Christians think that the more bad you feel about yourself the more godly you are and conversly the more good other people feel about themselves the more wordly they are. Jesus became sin that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ; Yes regretably we still sin but focusing on what we are in the natural instead of what Christ has done in us is actually the very oppsosite of godliness - it is self centered wordliness that breeds a sense of condemnation and apathy, not to mention comments like those from the post because we assume anyone who is positive about themselves is either in denial or selfish. Read a very interesting book recently called The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil by Martyn Shenstone. In it he explains that the more we look at our ourselves and try and focus on what's right and wrong the more we drift away from God and become like a Pharisee. I don't think I have ever read anything like this before but it really strikes a cord in me and I think it would help people to stop misunderstanding those who try and focus gratefully on what God has done for them instead of on their shortcomings - and - Hillsong is showy? Really? - those Anglican Bishops have more bling than a Gangsta Rapper!...
