Mark 7:7
Jesus doesn’t deny their devotion to their ritualism, but the lack of efficacy in it. This link between doctrine and wortship is very important. Many would say today that our doctrine matters little when it comes to worship. But, that is the furthest thing from the truth.
Ezra 4:1-7:28
James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Heavenly Father, thank you for giving us the truth as it is. Though we do not obey perfectly, we understand how your truths bless our lives. Knowing you and loving your commandments is important to us. You can change us from our sinful ways to a life of good things. You can enable us to offer true praise and worship to you. And, we do that now, may all glory and honor be to you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
Pray for our nation.
