Every culture, religious or not, has values by which it measures whether people have ‘crossed the line’ and are either ‘in’ or ‘out’. Jesus suggests that such things can be profoundly misleading – to the point of being dangerous. Come and hear how Jesus’ way is better.
The heart of the global problem
Matthew 15:15-20
15 But Peter said to him, “Explain the parable to us.” 16 And he said, “Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled? 18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. 20 These are what defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.”
