Faithful and Committed

"'Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!  You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill, and cumin.  But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness.  You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.'"  Matthew 23:23 (NIV)
We all want to be faithful and committed believers.  But to whom are we faithful, and to what are we committed?  Are we faithful to church attendance, or faithful to God?  Are we committed to living good lives, or are we committed to letting God live through us?  They are not necessarily the same.
It's easy to fall into a clean-living routine and think we're doing fine.  Ask yourself this question: If church related activities were taken out of my life, would people still see that I am faithful and committed to God?
'"They also will answer, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison and did not help you?"  He will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me."'"   Matthew 25:44-45 (NIV)
