Here is another quote and Scripture passage that we used last week that was not included in the blog.

Mark 7:6-8 "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: These people honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men. You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.”

Quote: “LOVE IS DANGEROUS!!!!!! Which is why we run from that which is the most loving....that which would change our lives if we allowed it to reach the deepest places of our hearts...but we keep love at a safe distance...at a simple definition...in a place where we can talk about it and feel warm but remain unchanged. Dangerous love reaches your inmost being and leaves you craving purity and transformation. It destroys everything you were and leaves you with all that He is. Anything short of transformation is not the love that comes from God but a love that comes from a culture afraid of losing the comfort of control.”
