Mommapbs, Avoiding the hypocritical works of the Pharisees. Matt 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. |

Greetings Emmaus - good reference! I'm wondering, do we are believers neglect these also today - "justice and mercy and faithfulness"? If so, how do you see this happening . . . Blessings, mommapbs |

Mommapbs, I think this is something we must all gard against in many ways. We tend not to think about sins of omission as much as we do trying to avoid sins of comission. Like the rich man, we thing we are doing fine if we do not abuse the beggar at our door, but we still sin by ignoring his need. The rich man never bothered Lazaraus. Ever heard the phrase, "he won't hurt you, but he won't help you either" used to describe someone? Makes me think of Jesus says, "because you are neither hot nor cold, I will spew you out." |

Emmaus, might these dead works be anything that we "do" apart from Christ at work in us? What I'm thinking about here is learning to recognize when we are doing "good things" with the wrong motivation. If I do this for God then He will do that . . .which is a reflection of a self-centered heart. A Christ-centered heart has HIM in operation, a life yielded to His will, His desires, His motives . . . mommapbs |
