11.8- It is not unusual for religious people to get stuck into their self made ruts

 11.8-

It is not unusual for religious people to get stuck into their self made ruts and they can end up following their religious traditions instead of Jesus. We must hit the refresh button often.

Jesus and His guys were busy each day helping sick and broken people. The religious big shots said they didn't wash their hands enough.

Jesus said they didn't wash their hearts enough. They worshipped uselessly because the taught human rules instead of God's.

You are dirty inside Jesus told these religious bullies and bigots. Lust. Theft. Murder. Adultery. Greed. Malice. Deceit. Lewdness. Envy. Slander. Arrogance. Foolishness.

Religion isn't being killed by social media. It is committing moral suicide according to what Jesus said.

A minister in once wrote about his own need to change his life

I am resolved no longer to linger,

charmed by the world's delight;

things that are higher, things that are nobler,

these have allured my sight.

Refrain:

I will hasten to Him,

hasten so glad and free;

Jesus, greatest, highest,

I will come to Thee.

2 I am resolved to go to the Savior,

leaving my sin and strife;

He is the true one, He is the just one,

He has the words of life. [Refrain]

3 I am resolved, and who will go with me?

Come, friends, without delay;

taught by the Bible, led by the Spirit,

we'll walk the heavenly way. [Refrain]

Mark 7.14 After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand: 15 there is nothing outside the person which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which come out of the person are what defile the person[h].”

17 And when He later entered a house, away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him about the parable. 18 And He *said to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding as well? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the person from outside cannot defile him, 19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and [i]is eliminated?” (Thereby He declared all foods clean.) 20 And He was saying, “That which comes out of the person, that is what defiles the person. 21 For from within, out of the [j]hearts of people, come the evil thoughts, acts of sexual immorality, thefts, murders, acts of adultery, 22 deeds of greed, wickedness, deceit, indecent behavior, [k]envy, slander, [l]pride, and foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile the person.”
