Jesus - “Topic, Feeling, Culture”? Or “All in All”?!
Don’t just vibe with Christian music or religious language—make sure it actually points you to Jesus and changes how you live. Real faith isn’t about the emotional high; it’s about knowing God, obeying Him, and keeping it real. Isaiah 1:11-17 “‘The multitude of your sacrifices—what are they to me?’ says the Lord. ‘I have more than enough of burnt offerings… When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening.’” Amos 5:21-24 “‘I hate, I despise your religious festivals… Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them… Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.’” Jeremiah 7:21-23 “‘Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people… Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you.’” Zechariah 7:12-13 “They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen… ‘When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen,’ says the Lord Almighty.” Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” James 1:22-25 “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.” John 14:15 “If you love me, you will obey my commandments.” John 4:23-24 “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
