“Do you know what happens if you cut grass? You’re not going to get rid of it; you’re going to make it grow. That’s why John the Baptist, preaching on repentance in Luke 3:9 and Matthew 3:10, said you need to lay the “axe to the ROOT.” It’s kind of like chopping off a branch: all you’ve done is, you’ve pruned it! You haven’t chopped the tree down–you’ve made it stronger. That’s why people who try to get rid of their habits by only dealing with the habit instead of the root, end up having worse problems.  They’re just cutting the grass. They come every Sunday, they come once a week, and they’re just “cutting the grass.”
