Jesus > Religion

September 28, 2014 by mattperman

An incredibly insightful observation by Jefferson Bethke in Jesus > Religion:

I think the more focused Christians are on external behavior, the greater the possibility they are trying to make up for what they lack in their hearts. When we have no real transforming power of Jesus in our hearts, we hold up a list of external behaviors so someone can look at us and identify us as Christians.
