Abraham Heschel, the Jewish theologian, once said: “Ritual without compassion is the worship of nothing.”
These words stem from his reflection on Isaiah 58, where the prophet (Isaiah) challenged the people of God to make sure their worship translated into transformed lives and compassion to others.
James put it in these familiar words: "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." (James 2:17)
Thought: In what way has your worship experience moved you to acts of compassion?
