Don’t Miss the Weightier Matters (Matthew 23:23)
Category : Blogpost
Don’t let routines and visible acts of faith consume you while you neglect what God truly desires.
Jesus warned in Matthew 23:23: you tithe your spices but neglect justice, mercy, and faithfulness.
The small duties have their place, but the weightier matters are foundational. Audit your commitments: is your schedule full of busywork that looks holy but leaves no energy for standing with the oppressed?
Balance by integrating justice, mercy, and faithfulness into your existing roles.
Prune minor activities to nurture the major.
Don’t let meticulous tithing blind you to hunger in the streets.
Tend to the weighty things first; let everything else find its proper place.
