Last year when I read Luke 11 I quoted Jesus' statement to the lawyers. This year I quote:
Luk 11:42-44 ESV
(42) "But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
(43) Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.
(44) Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it."
So many of us feel like we are secure because of our deeds. Our deeds need to be the result of grace in our lives. I highly recommend taking a listen to Mark Driscoll's sermon about the tension between faith and works. As with most things, I think he nailed it.
