The image is a direct reflection of the travesty, “let’s call it, the mockery,” regarding lip service rather than genuine love and submission. The words taken from Matthew 15:8 highlight the warning from Jesus regarding the behavior of some individuals. — It states that these types of people honor or praise Jesus with their words or mouths, boasting about their church attendance numbers and good deeds but their hearts are foreign and detached from God. —

In other words, to convey it simply, “their outward expressions of devotion and “holiness” is a facade and does not align with their true inner thoughts,” the hidden things, behaviors, intentions, or relationship with God.

In the days we are in where God is tearing down rebellious alters to go back to the purity and order of the church in Acts, it serves as a reminder that genuine faith and worship involve more than just superficial acts or words. I realize that these messages may cause pain and offense but that’s what Father’s genuine leaders must do, no different than Paul to lead the sheep home to the Shepard. —Our Master is Jesus!

It’s time to have a sincere and authentic relationship with Christ, where our thoughts, attitudes, and actions align with His will and desires, not our own or the world’s idea of the church which is often no more than human-built religious kingdoms. —

Jesus encourages us to cultivate a heart that is fully devoted to God, rather than merely going through the motions of religious practices without genuine inner transformation. —the fruit does not lie!
