9)"Worship had become much like the campaign speeches of politicians in our own day. It was full of empty words, misrepresenting one's identity, purpose, and goals. For many, worship was saying the right things and looking good in the right places. There were too little connection between the prescribed religious patterns and matters of the heart, righteousness, and Yahweh's will. To God's perspective, it was meaningless. Unrepentant sacrifice is no sacrifice at all. It is masquerading. it is an attempt to coerce God to ignore our real identity and enable out unrighteous habits. Meetings, assmblies, and services to honor God are dishonoring when we do not live the righteousness God desires."
