Substance not Form

When you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition, as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.
Matthew 6:7


"Holding to Christian practices in a hypocritical manner is repugnant to God. We cannot please Him with our external actions when we ignore the state of our hearts. Examine first the substance of your faith, not the form. God seeks children who pursue spiritual renewal rather than the mere fulfillment of religious obligations."


Neil T. Anderson, Freedom in Christ.
