Timothy Keller Quotes
Calvin Warned Against The Common Medieval (and Modern) View That Prayer Was A Way Of Putting On Your Best Spiritual Clothes, As It Were, To Impress God With Your Devoutness. He Completely Rejects The Idea That God Could Be "appeased By Devotions" Or That He Would Hear Prayers For "the Sake Of Mere Performance."179 In Fact, Those Who Would Pray Fruitfully Must Come With An Attitude That Is Exactly The Opposite. We Must Be Ruthlessly Honest About Our Flaws And Weaknesses. We Do All We Can To Avoid The "unreality" Of Putting On Our Best Face.
