CONTEMPLATING TRUTH

Last night I took a ride to a different hill that overlooks more development taking place in the areas where I ride. What was once wilderness is becoming homes. This used to bother me but I realize that land, planets and even the universe is made by God for our sake and everything will be made new for those that know him.

At church today we discussed how Jesus was accused by the religious order at the time of not following the rituals of washing of hands and eating of curtain foods that is a sin.  Jesus used the scriptures to show the flaw of man's customs over Gods law. "Uselessly do they worship Me, for they teach the doctrines the commands of men. Jesus called the people to Him and said to them, Listen and grasp and comprehend this: It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that makes him unclean and defiled, but what comes out of the mouth; this makes a man unclean and defiles him." Matthew 15:9.
