Thought for August 27

[Thompson, Darryl]

     There are those who profess to serve God, while they rely upon
their own efforts to obey His law, to form a right character, and secure
salvation. Their hearts are not moved by any deep sense of the love of
Christ, but they seek to perform the duties of the Christian life as
that which God requires of them in order to gain heaven. Such religion
is worth nothing. Steps to Christ, p. 44
