Proverbs 21:27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; How much more when he brings it with wicked intent!
Just doing something because someone says it has to be done is not always right. Those people in charge should not be asking others to do things that are not right.
God asks things of us. In the beginning it was love, then sacrifice when we messed it up. Now He wants us to realise what it means to sacrifice and love.
Are you willing to give things up just because you love others?
Are you ready to give things up just because God loves you?
