God's Word Takes Precedence Over Man's Traditions?
Marvin Patterson
Matthew 14:34 - 15:9
I heard a story about a vacuum cleaner salesman. It was his first day on the job. He had never sold vacuum cleaners before. And they teamed him up with the sales manager. And this guy was going to train him how to sell vacuum cleaners. And it was a door-to-door job. And he said, "This is how you do it. You just watch me."

He said, "You got it?" The new guy said, "Yes, I got it." So he's out first time on his own solo. He knocks on the door just like the sales manager did. Knocks on the door. The lady answers the door. He introduces himself. "Hi, I'm Bill Smith with Excellent Vacuum Cleaners." Bulls his way in, open up his pocket, and threw out the muck on the floor. The lady looks at him aghast. And he said, "Lady, if my vacuum cleaner doesn't get this off your carpet, I'll get down on my hands and knees and lick it up with a spoon."
