Galatians 6:8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
People read this and they think crimes against God. But what it means is self righteousness. Are you doing what you do in God's Name to be proved righteous (sinful nature) or to accomplish the will of God? Are we overturning strongly entrenched things or gaining points? If it is for points (flesh) it is against the Spirit. There is a spirit of the body of Christ. You can not be for the body of Christ AND be for self righteousness.
