Genesis 19-20, Psalm 107, Mark 7

A Heart for God

In Mark 7 we find Jesus addressing a group whom were questioning why Jesus’ disciples did not follow the “traditions” that had been set in place.

Jesus’ response: You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.

Pastor Brandon preached the last two weeks about how there is a standard. The standard can only be in place if there is an authority for that standard. The religious leaders had allowed the “traditions of men” to be the standard and they the authority.

Does this sound familiar? Have “traditions” began to rule and regulate our lives?

Jesus said that people honor Him with their lips, but their hearts are from from me. Our hearts must draw near to Jesus based off His word guiding our hearts to Him. Traditions have there place, but they must never replace our Heart for God.
