Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said that what the church needs to do most all is to begin herself to live the Christian life. If she did that men and women would be crowding into our buildings. They would say What is the secret of this? As Christians one of our greatest needs is for the Spirit of God to cultivate biblical godliness in us in order to put the beauty of Christ on display through us all to the glory of the triune God.
