From the outside it remained a stately, beautiful church - a joy to look at from the distance of the village. Inside, it gradually rotted and perished with years of neglect and disuse. People see me from the outside and think what a fine Christian I am, but Jesus sees me as I am and looks at what goes on inside. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live.
True faith is spiritual hygiene.
