1 " Man's greatest need, then, is not to try to clean his hands or fix his life on the outside; man's greatest need is a changed heart on the inside. Holiness begins in the heart, and only Jesus can produce this kind of change. "
― David Platt , Exalting Jesus in Matthew (Christ-Centered Exposition)
2 " Being a member of a local church is not very important to most professing Christians today. Church hopping and shopping are common in much of evangelicalism, as people are wary of committing themselves to a church. …It’s important for every Christian to be committed to a church. By doing so, we say to the church body, “If you wander from the Lord, I’m coming after you, and if I wander from the Lord, I want you to come after me.” This is the kind of care Jesus calls us to. "
3 " This is not an outer righteousness to show everyone how good we look, but an inner righteousness that shows how gracious and powerful God is. "
