Matthew 15:6
they are not to 'honor their father or mother' with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
Janis D. from Queen Creek, AZ said:
I wonder how many times I have done this very thing? How many times have I not helped a family member in need, or paid attention to my children, or my parents, because I was sooo busy doing things at the church? Tradition in my church is Sunday School and church service on Sunday morning, evening service on Sunday night, Wed night prayer meeting. .. as well as all those other activities that have become such deep traditions in the church that one is actually afraid, or chastised for not participating. So, we go to these things, often ignoring the needs of others. How many of us have driven right past a person with a flat tire, or a hungry person asking for food, while on our way to a traditional church activity. Lord, help me to do Thy will when you tell me to do it, and not be afraid to miss some tradition in the church. And, help me to gently resist the pressure put on me by the pastor and church leaders to be at every service...no matter what.
