"The triumph of the gospel is not to make people behave properly, to sit up straight, and mind their manners. The triumph of the gospel is not even to get people to stop sinning and become devoutly religious and studiously knowledgeable in the Scriptures. You can achieve all of that without one ounce of the grace of God. The triumph of the gospel is something else, something more profound, more beautiful: it is a transformed heart that shows itself in a transformed life."
-D. Martin Lloyd-Jones
I'm not familiar with this guy, but I found the quote to be inspiring.
Everyone have a good week :)

Just to give you a little history--Lloyd-Jones was an English preacher. Many consider him one of England's greatest expositors. He began his professional life as a doctor, but later left a profitable practice to take a small church. The Lord richly blessed his ministry. I'm a big fan of his, especially enjoying his series of sermons on revival compiled in a book called simply "Revival." "Preachers and preaching" is another classic of his. Thanks for the quote.
