Take Five for Faith
Invest just five minutes a day, and your faith will deepen and grow -a day at a time. Tuesday, February 9
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."
