Are you not of more value than they?  ²⁷ "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  ²⁸ "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;  ²⁹ "and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  ³⁰ "Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?  ³¹ "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'  ³² "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.  ³³ "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.  ³⁴ "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

You would give all this up for some pleasure?

NKJ Proverbs 5:1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; Lend your ear to my understanding, 

2 That you may preserve discretion, And your lips may keep knowledge. 

3 For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil; 

4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. 

5 Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell. 

6 Lest you ponder her path of life -- Her ways are unstable; You do not know them. 

7 Therefore hear me now, my children, And do not depart from the words of my mouth. 

8 Remove your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house, 

9 Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one; 

10 Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, And your labors go to the house of a foreigner; 

11 And you mourn at last, When your flesh and your body are consumed, 

12 And say: "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised correction! 

13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me! 

14 I was on the verge of total ruin, In the midst of the assembly and congregation." 

15 Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well. 

16 Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets? 

17 Let them be only your own, And not for strangers with you. 

18 Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth. 

19 As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with her love. 

20 For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, And be embraced in the arms of a seductress? 

21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He ponders all his paths. 

22 His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, And he is caught in the cords of his sin. 

23 He shall die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. 

Amen!

Psalm 101:2-4  ² I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will You come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.  ³ I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me.  ⁴ A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know wickedness.

Galatians 5:18-25  ¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.  ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,  ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,  ²¹ envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.  ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  ²³ gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.  ²⁴ And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  ²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

1 John 1:6-10  ⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.  ⁷ But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.  ⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  ⁹ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

Psalm 51:17   ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart -- These, O God, You will not despise.

Simply said: Love Jesus with all your heart, soul and strength.  Singing worship songs, going to church, listening to sermons, reading devotionals, attending bible study, and other church activities are fun and feel good.

Talking of Jesus; knowing the right theological positions, and or doctrines, and or catechisms, belonging to the right Christian Group are ways Christians draw near to God with their mouths and honor him with their lips.  They fulfill the rules by men.

Talking with Jesus negates rules by men!

Listening to Jesus and following Him because you love Him and not because of some obligation or servanthood or service or slavery are ways of drawing near to him with your heart and honoring Him with your whole being.
