…if someone is pre-committed to falsity and will not pursue God with pure heart and motives, they will hear only what they want to hear. The horrifying result of impure motives is that people sincerely believe it is God who has spoken, when all along it is was their own lying hearts.

Alan Hirsch in Untamed: Missional Discipleship
