More Rules Taught By Men
by Keith Brenton
05/09/2008 - The openness of our hearts to God and His Word is directly related to the depth of our worship:
"The Lord says: 'These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.' " ~ Isaiah 29:13 (quoted by Jesus in Matt. 15:9, Mark 7:7)
Rules for worship devised and taught by men have no real power to draw us closer to God's heart – but His Word shares what will bring us closer.
