Could the Lord be saying this to our church right now?

 

 

Could the Lord be saying this to our church right now?

'What use are your numerous offerings to me?

I am tired of your offerings.

I do not take pleasure in your offerings.

Who asked you to bring them?

You are merely trampling my courts.

Stop bringing meaningless offerings.

I have grown weary of your ceremonies.

I cannot bear your evil actions while you celebrate

church festivals and hold religious gatherings.

I hate your church festivals

because they have become a burden to me;

I am weary of bearing them.

Even if you lift up your hands in prayer,

I will not look; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen.

The reason is that you continue to sin against me.

Repent and rid yourselves of your evil behavior before me;

cease your sinful ways'

(Ref.: Isaiah 1:11-16).
