Love brings the hard truth!

Woe to you who long
for the day of the Lord!
Why do you long for the day of the Lord? That day will be darkness, not light.
It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear,
as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him.
Will not the day of the Lord be darkness, not light— pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?
“I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me.
Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them.
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them.
Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.
But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! —Amos 5:18-24

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…” —James 1:27
