I say Heavenly Father, today Job could not call him father, I can call
him dad. You're looking for somebody blameless, not perfect, I'm not
perfect, I'm very aware I'm imperfect, but I can be blameless, means
anything my conscience has told me is wrong, I have immediately
confessed it. If I've hurt somebody, I've asked forgiveness as soon as
possible, that's blameless.

If you have not asked forgiveness from people you have hurt, I want to
tell you in Jesus' name, you are not blameless today, you can sit in CFC
or any other church for the rest of your life, you are not a blameless
person. You're disobedient to the very first thing that God has said He
wants from man, blameless, not perfect. Some people teach, some people
say, that CFC teaches that we are perfect, I say look at the pulpit,
does it say we are perfect? I say no, it says there, let us press on to
perfection.
