Clean Hands And Defiled Hearts Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 18, 2017

I fear too often we major on the minor things and neglect the greater aspects of our faith and service unto the Lord. Jesus confronted the hypocrisy and neglect of the Pharisees. This passage reveals similarities to the modern church.
