Why Does This Bother Me?

We visited a friend's parents 50th anniversary dinner. It was great seeing everyone. However when the subject of church came up I felt this urge to pick a fight. I wanted to tout my self-righteous view of basically how wrong everyone else is and how right I am.

Why? It seems I have some baggage here. The truth is that I am arrogant and proud of my views. This is not love. This is also not where Jesus is or wants me.

So I repent. Perhaps I should seek His kingdom in others lives and let him sort out the details.

Are my views on church right? Wrong question. Am I right in my relationship to God. Am I seeking His best for those around me. Am I playing for the audience of One or for others approval?

God deliver me from religion.
