A key Scripture that's challenged me lately is Amos 5:23-34. These verses say,
"23 Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream!"
Here
you get a sense of God's broken heart at people who may have sung all
the right songs and done all the right things in the temple
and,yet,whose lives were not matching up. They were not living God's
justice. They failed to see that actually to care for the poor,the
broken, the oppressed and those on the margins of society is an
important aspect of living a life that glorifies God.
