What the Bible says about Mechanical Obedience
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Malachi 3:4 Things shall be as when they had their first love. What happens when first love wanes? The blush of being thrilled to be in God's church seems to evaporate. We may approach obedience to God as a mere duty to perform and not give His instructions and commands much thought. John O.
