Pish Posh on all talk of sin?

Zeph 3 says God has taken away our judgment---and we say, "So?" Good thoughts on this---

"We think we are rather decent people who do a lot of good things and who therefore have a lot of healthy goodness in us. To hear, as the people of God heard in Zephaniah's time, that God has removed His judgment from us does not square either with our notions of God or with our assessments of our own character. Why should we rejoice over the fact that God has stilled His warfare against us? As far as we're concerned, He need not and He has not declared war against us in the first place."
