Are your lips sealed?

The 19th-century Dictionary of Phrase and Fable defined "lip service" as "verbal devotion; honoring with the lips while the heart takes no part nor lot in the matter." This definition holds up pretty well today, as it did in biblical times. Technology may progress and develop, but human nature is much more stubborn. The next time you find yourself worshipping, whether in a pew, a prayer group, or in your own home, reflect on whether what is on your lips is also in your heart. If not, pray for a renewed heart!

Today’s readings: 1 Kings 8:22-23, 27-30; Mark 7:1-13

"This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."
