"Surely, You desire truth in the inward part." Psalm 51:6
Be sincere! Be what you seem to be!
Do not be like rowers in a boat, who look one way – and row another way. Do not look heaven-ward by your profession – and row hell-ward by your life!
Do not pretend to love God – and yet really love sin.
Counterfeit piety – is double iniquity! Let your heart be sincere and upright with God.
A little rusty gold – is far better than a great deal of bright brass. Just so, a little true grace, though rusted over with many infirmities – is better than all the glistening shows of religious hypocrites.
Do we feign and pretend to be godly or do we practice truth and Godly sincerity in all we do?
Thomas Watson (circa 1662)
Author/Preacher/Revivalist
