Is this event evidence of a false teaching? I don't mind sharing with you that I was once frusterated with myself about trying to live in holiness. I would go a week without reading my Bible, and get depressed with how I had not served God as I knew I should. Or I would participate in gossip, and later feel guilty about it. But this is not the kind of holiness my father is exhorting you to practice. That is a form of self-absorbed righteousness. The Lord showed me I was trying to serve Him while keeping my eyes on myself. If a person chooses to love God, and desires to love and worship Him in everything they do, they will not become frusterated in their walk, because their conscience will be clear. They walked in love, they are full of God's love. Their focus is on their God, rather than on themselves. The result is that I will not usually forget to study my Bible. If I do forget, I try to do better, but I do not experience frusteration over it, because I love God. My conscience is clear. What you are talking about is a genuine concern, Lance, but my father is not endorsing that kind of obeidience.
