From an early age, we learn quickly to look for loopholes in the rules. We try to figure out what we can get away with and still be okay. We tend to take this same mindset into our relationship with God, but it doesn’t work. When we opt for loopholes and workarounds, we find ourselves in a category no one wants to be in: hypocrites. Jesus wants us to move beyond loophole religion.

Whether it’s school, sports, or religion, when we focus only on the rules, it can be difficult to remember the overall purpose of something.

If we’re honest, we’re all pretty selfish at our core. We want what’s best for us, or for our people, and don’t think much about the effects on others. This isn’t new, it’s been around since… well, people. Jesus knew this was the case, so he talked about it a lot. His brother James continued talking about it and eventually the apostle Paul gave us some simple advice to understand, but hard advice to follow.
