Serve GOD With A Sincere Heart

Hello! and happy good first day of the week to all of us, GUYS.  Our "food for the soul" this Monday:

THE GOOD NEWS (27 June 2016)

"But GOD says this to the wicked:
'What right have you to mouth MY laws,
or to talk about my covenant?
You hate MY commands
and cast MY words behind you.

You join a thief when you meet one;
you keep company with adulterers.
You have a mouth of evil
and a deceitful tongue.
You speak ill of your brother,
and slander your own mother's son.

Because I was silent while you did these things,
you thought I was like you.
But now I rebuke you
and make this charge against you.
Give this a thought, you who forget GOD,
lest I tear you to pieces with no one to help you.
Those who give with thanks offerings honor ME,
but the one who walks blamelessly,
I will show him the salvation of GOD'."
- Psalm 50:16-23



(For a long time, it has been a subject of reflection and discussion for the people of GOD to know what, in GOD's eyes is more important: the offering of sacrifices or keeping the Law?  The psalm demands honoring GOD with sacrifices, but clearly gives priority to an upright life.

GOD is coming to judge HIS people.  HE condemns those who replace the obedience of the heart with offerings and material sacrifices, and those who recite the commandments instead of practicing them.)
