FROM MEMBER TO MINISTER - Superficial Spirituality - A New Series Supported by David Platt's "Follow Me" (a blogpost for a sermon to be preached at Kenwood Church in Livonia, MI, on January 15, 2017)

White-washed tombstones - an analogy against hypocrisy, not imperfection.  We are all imperfect, but we are not all superficial!  Take warning!

Matthew 23:27-28New International Version (NIV)

27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
New International Version (NIV)
