“Everything they do is for show… Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence! Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity. Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.”
Matthew 23:5, 25-28 (NLT)

“You who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions.

EVERY DECISION WE MAKE IS TO REFLECT BEING HOLY AS HE IS HOLY.

 

 

HOLINESS IS TO BE LIKE CHRIST IN ALL YOU DO.
