Praise!
My dear beloved Youth in Christ,

“For you ignore God's law and substitute your own tradition.”
Then he said, “You skillfully sidestep God's law in order to hold on to your own tradition.”
— Mark 7:8-9 NLT

Jesus wasn't against all tradition, but he was against those who made their traditions more important, than God's Word. Good traditions shine a spotlight on God's Word, move us to obedient service, and help our hearts sing. They explain and reinforce the teachings of God. God's Word should always be the focus, and tradition a means of bringing that Word alive.

Celebrate your traditions with the prayer that Christ would be exalted. Change your traditions if they become more important than God's Word.

'Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.'  Matthew 24:35
Lord Jesus loves you!
