If at first you don't succeed, try again. But if you hardly ever succeed, give it up and try something else. There isn't a bad thing if it leads you to wisdom. Wisdom is knowing that the first church of trying harder is a church of heresy. In fact, Jesus said, apart from me, you can do nothing. He's right, you know? I've tried for a long time to be successful, good, pure, righteous. I've given it up. In my despair, I went to him. He was an angry, he just said, well, child, it's about time. I'm still not old, that pure, good, and righteous, but I'm better than I was. And he told me that my goodness, righteousness, and purity weren't even the issue. He said that he was the issue, and that he was quite fond of me. I'm Steve Brown, if he likes that work, you think about that. He liked getting you home with freedom, joy, and faithfulness to Christ.
