4. Amos 5: 21-24 (The Message) "I can't stand your religious meetings. I'm fed up with your conferences and conventions.

I've had all I can take of your noisy ego-music. When was the last time you sang to me? Do you know what I want? I want justice—oceans of it. I want fairness—rivers of it. That's what I want. That's all I want.”

It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don't take yourself too seriously — take God seriously.” Micah 6: 6-8 (The Message) “ How can I stand up before God and show proper respect to the high God?
