Heart Level Religion

Psalm 50:16-17
But to the wicked God says: “Why do you recite my commandments and profess my covenant with your lips? You hate discipline; you cast my words behind you!”

Some people are good with religious words…but not so good in living those words. Our religion should lead us on a spiritual journey of transformation. The rules and commandments are all well and good for a foundation and structure. This is the early “elementary” faith level. But as you encounter the messiness of life…the struggles and contradictions…your faith will need to move from the head to the heart level. It’s here where God wants to change you…transform you! Such transformation will lead to a life motivated by love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion that will make a difference in the world.
