Yet the Lord set his affection on your forefathers and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations, as it is today. Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer. Deuteronomy 10:14-15<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The multitude of your sacrifices\u2014 what are they to me?\u201d says the Lord. \u201cI have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts?\u201d Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Isaiah 1:11-12 Your hands are full of blood; wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Isaiah 1:16<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. James 1:26<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Stop doing wrong, learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow. Isaiah 1:17<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1: 27<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt. Deut 10:19<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Ellie Johnson, Paul Kim, and Tom Griffin recited &#8220;True Religion&#8221; on June 23, 2013 at Family Camp in Pinecrest, CA<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTo the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.
