Righteousness Defined

[votivesoul]

I've always understood righteousness to mean "moral innocence, purity, and perfection", i.e. that just, eternal state of God, which can now be imputed to us by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

I have likewise heard of that century old prophecy. I think it was a legitimate declaration from the Spirit.

I have seen all manner of oddities and exhibitionist displays made in an attempt to "worship". I have stood next to adulterers, liars, Jezebels, and many others long since born of the Spirit, who would "worship" the Lord with amazing displays of devotions, but their hearts were impure, polluted by lusts and vanity.

So what matters more? Dancing like David or living like him? I would rather see a body of believers lift up pure hands with a pure heart and not be given over to what so many assume is true, spiritual, Pentecostal worship (which is often excessive and disorderly), instead of watching a bunch of carnal pretenders shouting with the voice of the flesh as they throw down their praise at a useless altar.
