Steering Clear of Religious Traditionalism
Jesus said “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:30). But have you noticed that there’s a temptation to add additional requirements, laws or traditions to our walk with the Lord? With all those extra regulations, the faith that Jesus designed as an asset to guide us becomes an obstacle that we can trip over! On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez challenges us to reevaluate those religious requirements we hold onto.True courage is rare. And when we see it, we may question our own spiritual resolve when we are confronted or censored. The early church thrived not despite opposition, but through it and Christians today are facing increased attacks to their faith that may cost them something in their lives.
Learn how the courageous stories of men and women of faith can bolster your confidence to stand up when you face opposition.
