A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott
Image
If God speaks to us about himself and his own glorious greatness, we respond by humbling ourselves before him in worship... If He speaks to us about His commandments, we determine to obey them.
