  1. You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'" (Matthew 15:7-9 NASB) Matthew 15:1-20

  2. You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'" (Matthew 15:7-9 NASB) Matthew 15:1-20

  3. The Precepts Of Men Matthew 15:1-20

  4. Salvation without Sacrifice The only difference between many 'Christians' and those of the world is Sunday morning Few 'Christians' truly “live their religion” The TRUTH: You can’t have salvation without sacrifice! Jesus wants daily sacrifice. Lk. 9:23-25; Rom. 12:1-2 Nothing can come above Christ. Mk. 10:17-22 Christ and the Church must come first. Mt. 6:33 The Precepts Of Men teach…

  5. Remission without Repentance Many believe and teach forgiveness is possible while continuing to live in sin e.g. alien sinners not accountable to law of Christ, continuous cleansing, etc. The TRUTH: Repentance is absolutely required for remission of sin! All must repent. Lk. 13:3, Acts 8:22, Acts 17:30-31 It’s more than saying sorry. 2 Cor. 7:10 It requires us to change our mind and behavior! Mt. 3:7-8; Acts 26:19-20 Repentance is perhaps the hardest commandment The Precepts Of Men teach…

  6. Righteousness without Obedience Many excuse themselves of obeying God e.g. “I don’t think that’s necessary”, “I’m a good moral person”, “I’m just human”, etc The TRUTH: Righteousness is a result of obedience! Hebrews 11:7; Luke 1:5-6 We are slaves of the one we obey, either sin or righteousness. Romans 6:15-19 Disobedience results in God's wrath. Eph 5:3-6 The Precepts Of Men teach…

  7. Morality without Self Denial We live in a society that doesn’t value self denial Self denial is not pleasant! The TRUTH: Its impossible to live a moral life without self-denial! Self-denial is the basis of a moral life. Titus 2:11-14 Even Paul said he had to discipline himself. 1 Cor 9:24-27 Are we better than the Apostle Paul? The Precepts Of Men teach…

  8. Growth without Diligence Folks want results without effort Many mistake time for effort The TRUTH: We must apply “all diligence” to grow! Most Christians remain spiritual babies. Heb. 5:11-14 Give diligence to add to our faith. 2 Pet. 1:5-8 If we fail to grow, we are blind and forgetful. V.9 Are you growing or forgetting? The Precepts Of Men teach…

  9. Knowledge without Study The amount of Bible knowledge possessed by most Christians is truly pitiful! Most can’t defend what they believe and many don’t even know what they believe. The TRUTH: Knowledge comes from diligent study of the Word! Many fail to realize God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hos. 4:6) We must be diligent students of the Word. 2 Tim 2:15 If we don’t study we’ll be deceived! Eph 4:11-16 How are your Bible study habits? Your knowledge? The Precepts Of Men teach…

  10. Truth without Controversy We live in a “politically correct” world No one wants to offend anyone, truth or not The TRUTH: The truth by its very nature is controversial! Thus, we must fight for the truth. Jude 3 The gospel is God’s power to save and we should never be ashamed of it! Rom 1:16 Does the truth make you squeamish? It's hard to fight for something you don't accept! The Precepts Of Men teach…

  11. Is your faith led by your own convenience and ease? Or is your faith true to God’s book? Is your faith sacrificial, obedient, and self-denying? Do you subscribe to the Precepts of Men or of GOD?
