The saints are sinners still. Our best tears need to be wept over, the strongest faith is mixed with unbelief, our most flaming love is cold compared with what Jesus deserves, and our intensest zeal still lacks the full fervor which the bleeding wounds and pierced heart of the crucified might claim at our hands.

Noah walked with God; he didn't only preach righteousness, he acted it. He went through water and didn't melt.

Bednar
My failure to lay aside the sin that so easily entangles is the direct result of my refusal to die to my natural proclivity toward attaining my own freedom, meaning, value, worth, and righteousness - not believing that, by virtue of my Spirit - wrought union with Christ, everything I need, I already possess. -- Tullian Tchividjian
Trust wholly in Christ; rely altogether on His sufferings; beware of seeking to be justified in any other way than by His righteousness. Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient for salvation.

The truth is, the secular world isn't too enamored with Jesus. And they're not too enamored with someone who is leading people to Jesus.

I mean, there's persecution all up and down the line. -- Pat Robertson
