Exploring the really annoying sins of allegedly "good people.”

When we talk about sin, we can be quick to think about the blatant moral failures that are easy to spot. However, certain sins aren’t so behaviorally obvious, and often lie undetected beneath the surface of the lives of “good” people. Hubris, self-righteousness, and smugness can inflict untold damage to the relationships around us. But how can we fight against sin that goes unseen and without accountability to correct it? The saving grace of the gospel is that where we lack the eyes to see the hubris that crowds out love, the community of God can restore our hearts by encouraging contriteness and humility, so that our righteousness can be measured by our capacity to love rather than our right-ness.
