“And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.””

Mark 7:5-8 ESV

All,

This stands out because Jesus says, “You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.” Do you know the difference between “tradition of men” and the “commandment of God”? Most of our society is confused about what the Bible actually says. Most Christians are confused also. A Barna study says that 95% of Christians have not read the whole Bible. How does someone know if they believe Christ(not believe “in”) if they haven’t read the Bible? Please pray that we and our friends read what the Bible actually says. Please pray for the Pritchard family today as they memorialize Bill Pritchard.
