GOING BEYOND MORALITY: EMBRACE A DEEPER RELATIONASHIP WITH GOD In Mark 10:17-27, Jesus tells the rich young ruler that despite his adherence to the commandments, he lacks one thing. Jesus invites him to remove all barriers and follow Him, showing that morality alone is not enough. True holiness stems from an intimate relationship with God, characterized by humility and love, not pride in moral achievements. C.S. Lewis reminds us that Christianity goes beyond rules and virtues to a transformative encounter with God’s love. This transformation compels us to live and love others through the Spirit’s fruit—patience, kindness, and compassion. Reflect on this: Have you become proud of your morality, expecting praise and looking down on others? Jesus calls us to replace judgment with compassion, praying for others' healing and forgiveness. Know Jesus beyond a checklist of moral achievements. Let your obedience flow from a love relationship with Him. Feast on being fully known and loved by God, far beyond mere goodness.

No matter what you may be going through, worship music has the ability to make a positive impact on your life. Here is what you need to hear today!
