BEING RIGHT IS SO OVER-RATED

1 Timothy 6:11

But you man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

Question.

Is there a difference between being RIGHT & being RIGHTEOUS?

Where we go wrong is when we treat our preference as a principle. It seems like a principle, maybe it is even a conviction for you, but it could still be a preference.

Maturity is when you get a tiny inkling in the back of your mind that there is the smallest possibility, no matter how unlikely, that you just could in fact potentially be wrong / or not know quite as much as you were sure you knew before.

Perhaps there is more to learn.

More than being right, I want to be known as one who pursues righteousness.

Right is all about you

Righteous is all about God
