Defending or Offending the Faith

JESUS was accused of not being from GOD by some of the Pharisees because HE did not follow their traditions. Many times, people get angry with others in an attempt to defend their faith or tradition without really honoring GOD in the process. JESUS called these Pharisees to account by addressing the spiritual blindness of the Pharisees who clung to traditions rather than submitting to the good heart of GOD. Are we clinging to traditions or to GOD's heart?
