Do we worship our own religion?

I find it strange that we think we are so pious. Why, we go out of our way for God. We declare how devoted we are to Him.
We do anything and everything, except obey Him.

We don't keep the Lord's Day, and we don't pay tithe, but we get a Christian tattoo to declare our devotion to God.
Is this really pious?

Exodus 31:15-16, NKJV
15 Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.

Malachi 3:8-9, NKJV
“Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.
You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation.

Leviticus 19:28, NKJV
28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord.



1 Samuel 15:22, NKJV
22 So Samuel said:
“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.

I fear that instead of being pious, we are all too often disobedient, going our own way, and wearing a placard of the name of Christ to make us feel better.

When we do not obey, how can we say we are devoted?

God, Thanks For All You Do For Us

"God, thanks for all you do for us. We're so grateful to you. You're doing a really great job being God --the Servant-- and all. I thank you and praise your name! By the way, I've got a couple of things I'd like you to take care of. If you could get those done by dinner, that would be great. Help us today, Lord. Amen"

Why don't we come to God and ask, "How can I be your servant today?"
