Hebrews Quote by Stephen Altrogge
““Commenting on Hebrews 3:13, Paul Tripp says, “The Hebrews passage clearly teaches that personal insight is the product of community. I need you in order to really see and know myself. Otherwise, I will listen to my own arguments, believe my own lies, and buy into my own delusions.”5””
