Today's meditation is taken from:

THE GIFT OF HOLY HATRED
by Chip Brogden


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men" (Matthew 15:9).

Are we offering acceptable sacrifices to the Lord? Sacrifices of
humility? Brokenness? Spirit and truth worship? Or are we just going
through the motions of Churchianity every week? We know how to put
together a music program (three praise songs, three worship songs).
We know how to take up offerings. We know how to preach and give an
altar call. We know how to do all these things: but are we giving God
what He wants?

It is a sad, but real fact: if God removed His presence from our
church services, 99% of the activity would continue on as before,
without interruption. We do not need God's Spirit to worship in the
flesh: we can do that all by ourselves. But God will not accept this
"worship." He looks the other way.
