“And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that is, given to God) — then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.””‭‭Mark‬ ‭7:9-13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This sticks out because I’m tempted to selectively obey now. I want to follow the Bible and obey Jesus because I truly believe He has a abundant life planned for me and its gets conformed in obedience. However, I naively look past certain sins and strictly obey others. I’m sure people see the hippocracy in me and other Christians and its hurts our witness when we reach out to them. Please pray that we and our friends ask God to “reveal any areas of unconfessed sins” and act in obedience. Please pray for Brandon and Doug’s group.
