Making Sense of the Ravi Zacharias Scandal

After a team of investigators hired by Ravi Zacharias International Ministries recently announced that they had uncovered significant evidence of sexual misconduct by Ravi Zacharias, many of Ravi's fans are confused, angry, and devastated by the allegations. But there's an important lesson to be learned here, one the church can no longer continue to ignore. Ravi's final message to the world may be his most important. David Wood discusses the issue.

The Gospel of Mark: "Jesus & Religion" Mark 7:1-23

The Gospel of Mark 7:1-23

1. Jesus against Religious Traditionalism (Mark 7:1-5) 
What kind of religious traditions have you seen or experienced that actually go beyond the scriptures or even contradict God’s Word?
Why is it easier to see disobedience in others instead of ourselves?
In what specific ways do you have a condemning and judgmental spirit towards others (not lovingly, graciously correcting)?

2. Jesus against Religious Hypocrisy (Mark 7:6-13)
What is involved in the process of moving from honesty to hypocrisy? What might be gained by religious hypocrisy?
Where do you see areas of justified contradiction between what you claim to believe and how you really live?

3. Jesus against Religious Externalism (Mark 7:14-23)
What’s the difference between external conformity and internal heart-transformation? How do you personally know if your obedience is from the heart or only external pressure?
Apart from the gifted righteousness of Jesus, in what areas do you try to find your value, significance and worthiness in the eyes of God or others?
