He who kills a bull is as if he slays a man. He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he breaks a dogs neck. He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swines blood. He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol. Just as they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations, so will I choose their delusions, and bring their fears on them. Because, when I called, no one answered. When I spoke they did not hear; but they did evil before My eyes, and chose that in which I do not delight.
The words of a little tune I used to sing as a child come to mind: “How about your heart? Is it right with God? That’s the thing that counts today. People often see you, as you are outside. Jesus really knows you, for He sees inside…”
