The people
honour me only with lip-service while
their hearts are far from me
Matthew
7:6 (Isaiah 29:13)
Purity of mind and heart and singleness
of purpose in following the will
of the Father - this is what will
bring fulfilment to each child of
the Father in life and satisfaction
at the end. And worship has no value
where the quality of life is contrary
to the thoughts and words expressed.
There are those today who do not
profess belief and commitment to
their Heavenly Father who nonetheless
are faithful to the principles of
the world He has created for them.
Regard the singleness of mind which
has brought young and old in China
to liberty and truth, even in the
face of death.
Under judgement are those of the
Father's children who though given
the precepts of eternal life, turn
away and embrace the mammoth of
materialism and wrong-doing. And
even more deadly is the sin of those
who, seeing the good and embracing
the evil, pollute the courts of
the Father's Kingdom with meaningless
worship and hymns and prayers which
have neither life not meaning.
