Walking in Purity 00:01:01
Why do you believe there are so many Christians today who expect to see a change in society without it first appearing in the church?
It's our tendency.
We're looking for the shortcut that doesn't involve change in our lives.
You buy a diet book and read it, but it doesn't do anything unless you act on it.
You know, people want to take a pill and that's going to change everything.
So we just think, well, if I can vote, I'll just vote and get the right politicians and that'll change.
Well, of course we vote.
Of course we're involved in the political process, but that is not going to bring light out of darkness.
Politics can't save a soul.
Politics can't transform a life.
Politics can't change a heart.
So while we advocate for good political leaders and good laws and things like that, we must go about changing hearts, but we can't give what we don't have.
If we ourselves have not been impacted, if we ourselves are not walking with the Lord, if we ourselves are not walking in purity and holiness, how can we help someone else?
