" 'These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7They worship me in vain;
their teachings are but rules taught by men.'[b] 8You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."

I've tried to write a blog but i can't get my thoughts together. Its quite confronting. Am I one of the pharisees that only honours with my lips?
