These empty words have no real power in them to bring about change in you, but they do have the power to deceive you. Remember, God's Word is sharp and alive and brings us to repentance. Empty words only encourage us to stay the same by offering excuses for our behavior in relation to our present cultural standards.
It's okay... I'm in the growth process.
Are we in process? Yes, but our destination is not the process; it is transformation, and we are promised that He who began a good work will carry it out until completion [Phil 1:6].
God knows my heart.
Out of the overflow of your heart, your mouth will speak. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him [Matt 12:34-35]. What you say reveals your heart.
No one's perfect.
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect [Matt 5:48]. Even though the righteous man fall seven times, he still gets up [Prov 24:16].
Everyone else is doing it.
I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking [Eph 4:17-18].
I'm doing better than most.
We should not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise [2 Cor 10:12-13]. Who wants to be stupid when we can be wise? Stop looking at others, and look at the perfect law of liberty.

Captivate my heart, dear Jesus
