Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:8-13 and Psalm 45:1-2, 6-9 • Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-9 and Psalm 15 • James 1:17-27 • Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23
If you Google "true religion," the first thing to pop up in the search is the clothing line "True Religion," with images of designer jeans. What does that tell us?
In this Sunday's gospel from Mark, Jesus cuts to the heart of the matter of "true religion." Following his series of "Bread of Life" teachings, it is fitting that eating food is the backdrop for today's teaching. The Pharisees questioned Jesus and his disciples eating without following the purification hand washing ritual. What does Jesus say?
In our religious life, are we practicing "true religion?" Consider The Rev. D. Rebecca Dinovo's "Distractions," and Debie Thomas' "True Religion."
