The Trinity of Wrong Righteousness

by Timothy J. Kelley

If the good news of the Gospel is really true, and it is, why do so many of us never seem to relax in our relationship with God? Why do the pure in heart always question their standing with God, doubting its power and validity? Why does so much preaching today sound like this, "you otta, you betta, you shoulda, and why didn’t ya?" And, oh yeah, "It’s your fault!" There is a common culprit that we will call the trinity of wrong righteousness. This trinity is a common offender and a formidable foe that impacts and infects more believers than we have even imagined.
