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.
You can know something about a person, their biography, greatest achievements, famous sayings...but still be a stranger to them. Real relationships require something more. Presence. Pursuit. A genuine willingness to close the distance.
