KEEPING THE MAIN THING
Mark 7:1-4 (ESV)
1 Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,
2 they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.
3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands, holding to the tradition of the elders,
4 and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.)
RULES CAN BE OK.
WE NEED TO KEEP THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING.
WE NEED TO STRESS HOW TO BE SAVED.
WE NEED TO TEACH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
WE NEED TO HELP PEOPLE GROW AS A CHRISTIAN.
MAN'S SILLY RULES ARE MAN'S RULES-BACK OFF.
CHRISTIANITY IS ABOUT A WHO NOT A WHAT.
THINK ABOUT IT-PASTOR JOE
