"I'm not a bad as I could be,
but I'm not as good as I should be!"
The message into which the phrase was woven was a great discussion of works versus grace and how a good works system of salvation is arbitrary, can never provide absolute assurance, ultimately requires God to approve of evil and condradicts the Bible (see Titus 3:5).
I also found the phrase to be a interesting counterpoint to the Toby Keith country song "As Good as I Once Was" which has the phrase:
"I'm ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was."
So when the two phrases are joined together I get something like:
I'm not a good as I should be
But I'm as good as I can be!
Which, by the way, is still not good enough!
