    based on 87 ratings
     | 6,165 views

    God isn’t as impressed with our pious religiosity as he is about the way we live our lives.

    Now the Israelites had a problem. They practiced their religion faithfully, and they did everything that was expected, but God didn’t seem to be listening to them. What was the problem? This is a good question. And it’s an important question to ask ourselves as well. God, through his prophet, ...read more

    If we would become more compassionate and less judgmental, what would happen? We would become like a well watered garden, with flowing streams. We become Repairers of Broken Walls used by God.

Call on the LORD and HE will answer Cry out to HIM for help and HIS answer will be this… If you stop oppressing the weak, stop making false accusations and spreading vicious rumors. STOP Gossiping. Feed the hungry. Help ...read more

     | 4,925 views

    1) True worship is persistent, not sporadic. 2) True worship is done for others, not for oneself. 3) True worship is beneficial, not futile.

    I have a confession to make. I haven’t eaten a tasty store-bought or restaurant-made pizza since coming to Canada. The crusts are consistently too dry or too doughy. The pepperoni is too greasy and too salty. And the pizza sauce is too sweet. It’s not as bad as the pizza I had in ...read more

    Faith is more than going through the motions and appearing holy. True faith seeks God's will and faithfully obeys it.

  • We The People, Breaking Bondages Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 15, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,635 views

    God does not want merely personal religion; He desires our investment in breaking the bondages that imprison others. America post-Vietnam is strikingly similar to Judah post-Exile. Neither can afford to retreat into comfortable religion.

    A great nation had been humiliated by something they had never supposed could happen. Because they saw themselves as the people of God, chosen by him for a special role in the world's history, they had imagined themselves invulnerable. God would never desert his people, they believed. God would not ...read more

     | 45,988 views

    Though the people wanted the blessings of God, they were not interested in allowing God to change their heart, their attitude & their actions. They wanted their religion to gain them special favor with God so that they would win the dog eat dog struggle

    ISAIAH 58:3-12 TRUE FASTING Job 32:17-20 / Matthew 23:13-36 Going through the motions of religion, even those of sacrifice and fasting, does not move God.

    The New Testament is the completion of the old. The New Covenant in the blood of Christ, which we re-present at this hour, is the fulfillment of the Old. We forget this important reality at our peril, because it leads us to either pass by our indebtedness to our older brothers, the Jews, or, like ...read more
