A dangerous veneer

 


"You can't wait for the Sabbath day to be over and religious festivals to end so you can get back to cheating the helpless." - Amos 8:5

When Amos challenged the people of Israel about their shallow faith, he was pointing out that they were good at creating a 'veneer' of religiosity, but their lives hadn't changed one bit. 

This is a dangerous veneer for us to put over our hearts, because we may fool others, but we will never fool God. 

Are their any parts of your faith that are easier to hide than to openly bring to the Lord?

“God hath given you one face, and you make yourself another.”
― Shakespeare, Hamlet
