There was a young man who became a devout denominational old man. He read Galatians every day by grace. He also read Psalms 82 as one of three triplets that survived the process of birth. He was a miracle. However, he would sometimes fall short of his own self-expectations. He would be angry with himself. Instead of beating the cross, he would beat up anyone who was a little younger than he was in the town or congregation. It was a habit of self-condemnation and of abusing someone to express it. He went through this cycle 18 times. Eventually, he read Romans 7, accepted grace, overcame his shortcoming by confessing as it says in 1st John 1:9 and walked in the faith of Abraham. See Romans 9. He never used anyone as an outlet for his self-anger again.
