When Tradition Becomes a Tyrant

from MOOR of the Word with Pastor Chuck Pourciau · host Dr. Chuck Pourciau

The Pharisees weren’t policing hygiene—they were policing holiness by human standards. In Mark 7, Jesus exposes how religion can drift into legalism: obsessing over external performance while the heart grows cold, empty, and hypocritical. This episode calls us back to grace-driven obedience—and a unity rooted in God’s Word, not man-made rules.
