Traditions can be a good thing, like sitting around the thanksgiving table and saying what you are thankful for, giving gifts at Christmas, or perhaps just saying grace before a meal. The problem is that sometimes we put so much emphasis on the traditions themselves, and forget what their original purpose was. In today's message, Pastor Mark encourages us to think about the traditions that we have in practicing our faith. He challenges us to ask if they draw us closer to God? or do they replace true worship. Do the traditions you follow, come from men? or do they come from the truth of God's word?
