These experiences taught me that, in order to keep a house clear of bugs,
we must first eliminate what attracts them. Simply cleaning the surface isn‘tenough. In the same way, we need to first examine our hearts and removeanything that distracts us from God, making space for Jesus to dwell in usbefore we can offer ourselves as a holy and pleasing sacrifice to God. Firstthings first: when our hearts have been cleansed of idolatry then we canbuild our worship in a way that truly honors God. - P51

Recognizing the Lamb and fol-lowing Him equates to a decisive life change. Jesus would later teach thatwe cannot serve two masters (Matt. 6:24). If Jesus is Lord, then He is Lordof all of our lives, not just some parts. - P36
