Their Hearts Are Far From Me
“This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me…” (Matthew 15:8)
Jesus famously quoted Isaiah 29:13 when rebuking the Pharisees.
You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
“‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’” (Matthew 15:7-9)
In light of this, I wanted to share this short video where John Piper makes the same point in a powerful and relevant way:
Church, may the Spirit give us clean hands and pure heart!
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10)
