Zac Poonen addresses the hypocrisy of the Pharisees who judged Jesus for not adhering to their strict Sabbath observance, emphasizing that true godliness should not be measured by religious rituals but by the heart's intent. He highlights the example of William Booth and the Salvation Army, who prioritized reaching the lost over traditional practices like communion and baptism, demonstrating that God can work through those who may not fit conventional molds. Poonen warns against the danger of prejudice that can lead to unjust criticism of godly individuals, often from those who have not contributed to God's work themselves. He encourages believers to recognize the grace of God in others and to avoid the Pharisaical mindset that dismisses those who serve differently.
