Isaiah 29:13 The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.
It is certainly not a new thing where people talk the talk but do not walk the walk – God warned people through Isaiah about how they were saying things without doing the things they talked about.
People have done this throughout the ages – and still we do not learn from other people’s mistakes.
God can see right through us when we are not genuine – we need to stop the pretence and get on and have a proper and right relationship with Christ, just as He wants us to!
