It's good to be back home. After a week in Indianapolis it's nice to be sitting back in the comfort of my house. Don't get me wrong, my parents' house is nice, but it's just not the same anymore.
The first chapter of today's reading contained a stern warning for all worshipers.
"And so the Lord says, 'These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.'"
Yikes! There are a lot of current videos out there mocking the "formula of worship." I may have experienced a little bit of it this week. I realize that only God can know our heart in worship. For that reason I'm here to confess that at times my heart is far from God in my worship, concerned only with the rote - the routines - the right formula. Lord have mercy.
