Interference


Mark 7:6 

6 Jesus replied, “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote,

‘These people honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.

 

Interference

 

Daily life why do you interfere with all the words I preach?

You know you always disagree with the things I say

You show me to be a book with many contradictions

More like chained hypocrisies exposed in many ways

 

I talk about the Pharisees of the past and I seem a living one

I talk about pride and greed and You show me selfishness

I talk about the “I” that’s dominating others

and You just shake your head pointing to your Son
