The word of God cannot be divorced from the love of God. There are many places where God uses prophets to tell His people that he’s ignoring their sacrifice, fasting, and other religious observances because they are mistreating or ignoring the plight of people around them.

And on Dear Live From The Path, helping friends make their way back to church and a wife who retired and is now consumed by crosswords.
