=== Walking in Purity (01:01) ===

[00:00:00]  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?
[00:00:11]  It's our tendency.
[00:00:13]  We're looking for the shortcut that doesn't involve change in our lives.
[00:00:17]  You buy a diet book and read it, but it doesn't do anything unless you act on it.
[00:00:22]  You know, people want to take a pill and that's going to change everything.
[00:00:25]  So we just think, well, if I can vote, I'll just vote and get the right politicians and that'll change.
[00:00:30]  Well, of course we vote.
[00:00:31]  Of course we're involved in the political process, but that is not going to bring light out of darkness.
[00:00:37]  Politics can't save a soul.
[00:00:39]  Politics can't transform a life.
[00:00:41]  Politics can't change a heart.
[00:00:43]  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.
[00:00:53]  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?
