Midweek Meditation: Religiosity vs. Righteousness

What would it look like if we as followers of Jesus lived out the Gospel by being people of righteousness rather than religiosity?

Amos 5:21-24:

21 “I absolutely despise your festivals! I get no pleasure from your religious assemblies. 

22 Even if you offer me burnt and grain offerings, I will not be satisfied; I will not look with favor on your peace offerings of fattened calves.

23 Take away from me your noisy songs; I don’t want to hear the music of your stringed instruments.

24 Justice must flow like torrents of water, righteous actions like a stream that never dries up.
