Thanks, Chal. We have our first contestant (side eyeing DJ for coming in, but not answering...)
Micah 6:8 is a good place to start. It asks the question: "...what is Jehovah asking back from you but to exercise justice and to love kindness and to be modest in walking with your God? "
We'll talk later about what it means to exercise justice and love kindness. But let's jump right into the tough stuff.
what does it mean to be "modest in walking with your God?"

ok, let's see.
my intepretation is that you carry yourself in a way that is meek and humble. you don't have to be loud and boastful about the things you have and your relationship with God. Just continue to do what you are suppose to and set an example for others. You don't have to scream if from the rooftop. People notice.

Thanks! Now, hopefully someone will come in and give u a break from answering all the questions by yourself. The Creator says @ Exodus 20:5, that He is a "God exacting exclusive devotion."
The definition of exacting is: requiring precise accuracy.
If God requires us to be precise and accurate in our devotion to him, must that also mean that such acceptable worship is fairly complex and requires great effort to achieve? Does it also stand to reason that he holds us accountable to his standards and statutes whether or not we have chosen to avail ourselves of reading the bible?
