Quote by Matthew Henry
It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the Church.
Summary
This quote suggests that individuals who are distant from spirituality or disconnected from a higher power often tend to boast about their close association with organized religion or the church. The underlying meaning is that these individuals may use their outward affiliation as a way to compensate for their lack of genuine spiritual connection or personal relationship with God. It points to the idea that being close to the physical institution of the church does not necessarily equate to a deep spiritual connection or closeness to God.
