Matthew 5:20-26

Many years ago I heard this saying from someone and I have really expanded it other areas in my life. The saying is “The church is like a swimming pool, all the noise comes from the shallow side.”

How many times does Jesus invite the disciples to pull out into the deep or to let the weeds and wheat grow together and time will tell the difference. One on my friends Tina Margaret was talking to me about Proverbs 13:3 how we ought to guard what comes out of our mouths especially when in a spiritual battle.

Anyway I digress, in todays gospel our Lord invites us to be the deeper persons. Our righteousness should go beyond that of the talkers of religion. All he says is be good and do good without a trumpet. Talking about that, do you know how wired we are around feedback. Free yourself of that. The results will come, sometimes it takes years but the results will come. Stay consistent, listening only to the voice in the deep.
