Our prayers may be weak, stammering, and poor in our eyes. But if they come from the right heart, God understands them. Such prayers are His delight.

God is holy. And he will not lower his standard of righteousness to the level of our ignorance. Ignorance is not innocence. -A.W. Pink
God knew what we were before conversion - wicked, guilty, and defiled; yet He loved us. He knows what we will be after conversion - weak, erring, and frail; yet He loves us.

When we come together as the church body, we are to leave the craftiness, competitiveness, and discord of the world behind. We are to abandon petty grievances, pridefulness, and judgmental hearts and attitudes. We don't need to keep up our guard or even "put on our Sunday best." We can just relax in God's amazing love and sacrifice for us and one another.
“There is, therefore, something in humility which, strangely enough, exalts the heart.”
—St. Augustine
The church of the first century, the church we read about in the book of Acts, transformed its culture. People described Christians as “these who have turned the world upside down” (Acts 17:6 NKJV). If our faith is not turning us upside down, then it certainly isn’t going to turn our world upside down.
How has the enemy whispered to you “Did God really say?”? Let’s not waste our lives listening to Him and not doubting that He knows what is best!
