This is an intriguing thing to watch:
1. First, Tradition bleeds into a individual’s everyday thinking
2. Second, subsequently effecting a individual’s actions.
3. Third, this individual passes tradition off as Gospel
4. Fourth, this is given to others through this individual

Jesus had a way with words and people. Several instances in Scripture he ridicules and challenges religious teachers to connect with God through building an authentic and transparent relationship with him instead of on tradition, rules and the perspectives of men.

Give people TRUTH not TRADITION!

Last, TRADITION is important because it links us to our heritage, values, generational customs & beliefs, experiential wisdom, it acts as a compass, and etc. There is a place for TRADITION. However, I don’t think that place should be seated on the thrown of a person’s heart. On the contrary it should be second to Scripture.

Psalm 91

God by the way of Jesus Christ should graciously invade a person’s heart and transform the way he/she thinks. If a person’s mind can be transformed then their actions will follow.

Carter G. Woodson stated, “If you can control a man’s thinking, you don’t have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have worry about what he will do…”
