I’m not big on presenting my personal testimony, instead staying exclusively in the Word (“He must increase, but I must decrease.” – John 3:30) but I feel compelled to tell my story this week because it was verse 15:3 which was the final nail in the cross (not coffin) for me. I was raised as a proud Roman Catholic. While I had become convinced that many of their practices simply don’t jive with God’s Holy Word, I refused to deny my family tradition and walk away. I then got hit, like a truck, when Jesus spoke directly to my heart, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?”
