“The seeds of every known sin
lay dormant in our hearts.”~ Robert Murray McCheyne
(1813-1843)

“We would all like to think that no one knows
our hearts better than we do. We would like to
believe that others may be self-deceived, but we are not. It’s simply not true. Since sin is in its essence deceptive, as long as sin lives in our
hearts, we will tend to be blind to the true condition
of our hearts.

“...personal insight is the product of
community. I need you in order to
