"You impose on people burdens hard to carry,
but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them." ~ Luke 11:46
They neglect to show charity especially to the weak and poor.
They go through the correct motions of conventional religion while forgetting the realities.
"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing."
~ 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us finish the work we are in” ~ Abraham Lincoln
