The Promise and The Purpose #80 - Wash

The purpose of todays passages - as Jesus speaks correction to ancient religious leaders - denominations and temple jobs that don’t exist anymore - the principles apply to us - people of the book - followers of God, that we should not fall into the same traps:

What goes on inside our head and heart is more important than what happens outside - so do what you need to do in order to guard your heart and mind - if that means giving away things you find to precious, then give them away - stop watching those programs or hanging out with those people.

Keep the main thing the main thing - focus on the transformation that God desires for you - do what is right in every situation, loving mercy, walking humbly with your God

Care what rubs off from you on those around you - speak life, build up, encourage

Recognise that scripture is not a stick to hit people with - it is a map that shows the way to a better life - so first make sure you understand it and how it applied to your life then you will be able to help other people understand what it says and how it applies to their lives
