Deliver
us, O Lord, from religion without compassion. We don't want to be
Pharisees. We want to be followers of Jesus. Give us compassion - but
may it always be compassion without compromise. Help us not to sacrifice
truth and righteousness for the sake of relevance. Help us "to be the
best that we can be for truth and righteousness and Thee." Help us to
see what relevance really is. Help us to see where relevance really
comes from. It doesn't just emerge out of our own minds, our own
creativity. It's based on truth. We didn't create truth - and we don't
create relevance. "Your Word is truth" (John 17:17). Your Word is
relevant - because it is truth: truth unchanged, unchanging and
unchangeable. Lord, help us to be faithful to Your truth - and help us
to care for people who need to be set free by Your truth, set free by
Your Son (John 8:32,36).
