“Death by Tradition” From Mark 7:5-13 We need to be careful when our life falls into the deep ruts of traditions, because a rut is simply a grave with both ends knocked out. We think we are getting somewhere, but we are often stuck in the mire of a slow spiritual demise. How do we get “unstuck?” We simply change our footing by embracing the truth of God’s Word for our rule and practice in this life as we reject the traditions of men.
