Are you willing to deny the teachings of Jesus just to please your traditions...!

Matthew 15:3, 8-9 NKJV

He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?  ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with  their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching  as  doctrines the commandments of men.’  ”

Shalom! Day #287. Do you know that people to tied to traditions and merely worshipping God with their mouth and lips? Let's pray. Father, let us not uphold and continue in our traditions of our forefathers. Lord we pray that You will break the ties of traditions that's been set by our forefathers in following You. Come and free us from the slavery and bondage of traditions. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

There still a group of believers who strongly upholding the traditions of their forefathers. They are traditional Christians. By mouth they profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. Just for name sake going to church,  yet they are still living and swimming in the sea of sin. Being a traditional Christians are the ones who just go to church on Sunday's just to warm the seats. Here Jesus is strongly rebuking all those tied to tradition. People are adding traditions to the teachings of Jesus nowadays. For example, you must put garlands and so on to please God and bla bla... What kind of a wrong teaching is this?

That's why, they think by doing all this can please God and so on. Yet they fail. They only prefer to give lips service. One hand lifted up in worshiping God, the other hand checking the phone. Honor Him with lips, but their hearts is in a far far away kingdom. Teaching and preaching the word according to the ways and traditions set by men! Jesus is not bound by your traditions, your laws and your ways! It's a sin if we twist and turn the word of God to suit our ways and traditions! Come on people, either you live by His word and stop the lips service that you offer, or die in your traditions! Please remeber this, religion and traditions is not going to save you , it neither guarantees a safe place in heaven for you! Only Jesus can save you and give you the assurance of salvation and a place in heaven for you!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
