Amos 5: 21-24 (The Message)

"I can't stand your religious meetings.    I'm fed up with your conferences and conventions.

I want nothing to do with your religion projects,    your pretentious slogans and goals.I'm sick of your fund-raising schemes,

   your public relations and image making.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.”

Micah 6: 6-8 (The Message)

“How can I stand up before God    and show proper respect to the high God?

Should I bring an armload of offerings    topped off with yearling calves?

Would God be impressed with thousands of rams,    with buckets and barrels of olive oil?

Would he be moved if I sacrificed my firstborn child,    my precious baby, to cancel my sin?

 But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do,

   what God is looking for in men and women.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.”

Matthew 25: 34-36 (The Message)

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Enter, you who are blessed by my Father! Take what's coming to you in this kingdom.

It's been ready for you since the world's foundation. And here's why:

   I was hungry and you fed me,    I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,

   I was homeless and you gave me a room,    I was shivering and you gave me clothes,

   I was sick and you stopped to visit,    I was in prison and you came to me.’”

Matthew 25: 37-40 (The Message)

"Then those 'sheep' are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about?

When did we ever see you hungry and feed you,

thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick

or in prison and come to you?' Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things

to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.”

2 Corinthians 8:9 (The

Message)

Colossians 3:17 (The

Message)
