Once a Pastor was preaching about holiness inside AND out. A brother interrupted the Pastor and asked this question:
" When you eat a banana, what do you eat? The inside? Or the outside?"
The Pastor answered him, "the inside." The brother responded to him,
"so God is more concerned with what is on the inside (the heart) than what is on the outside (appearance).
The Pastor immediately received a word from God and asked the brother this question,
"when you go to buy bananas, What do you notice first? The inside? Or the outside?"
The brother said,
"the outside."
The Pastor replied,
"because Holiness IS inside AND out. Having a clean heart is important. But dressing as children of God is also important. "
