Traditions are everywhere and they need to be confronted and dismantled by truth–scripture–and the people who are willing to speak the truth. So many wonders why God has not moved on their behalf (blessed them), sometimes the reasons are simply in scripture and applying scripture in our lives.
Mark 7:13 (ESV): 13 thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
John 17:17 (ESV): 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth
John 8:31–32 (ESV): 31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
James 1:22–25 (ESV): 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
