“Beware of a Critical Spirit” from Mark 7:1-6. Why do we spend so much time and energy needlessly being critical of everyone and everything around us? Could it be that we are a thankless, selfish and insecure people? Have we become modern day Pharisees putting more emphasis on the tradition and opinion of men rather than the Holy Word of God? We should be using our time and energy to productively love humanity and not needlessly condemn them with critical spirits, remembering we are all sinners saved my God’s grace.
