Proverbs of the New Testament Quotes

“We live our lives as “closet Christians.” We tolerate sin to the extent of participation. We have become desensitized.”
― Lara Velez, Proverbs of the New Testament

“The Church needs to humble itself before the Lord. We need to do what the Word tells us. We need to live our lives for the Lord. We are aliens. This world is not our home. Why do we embrace it so? We embrace it because we are cowards.”
― Lara Velez, Proverbs of the New Testament

“As a Body we are filled with sin and worldliness. We do not separate ourselves from the ideas and foolishness of this world. Instead, we embrace it and “go with the flow.” We allow our children to watch and listen to things that we ourselves shouldn’t be. We then say that we must “choose our battles.”   We go to church and we put our Jesus stickers on our cars. However, do we really take the Truths of God to heart and walk them out? Do we even look like Jesus lives in us? Or do we do what makes us feel good? It’s like we are afraid to be who God called us to be. We participate in conversations that I am certain we would not dare to if Jesus in the flesh was standing next to us. As a result, we become desensitized to the Holy Spirit’s conviction and remain light covered by the world’s influence and darkness.”
