"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Church Tradition Is A God Now!

What is so alarming is that the right now the majority evangelical, though convinced they have a Biblical worldview and handle on scripture (especially fundamentalists), actually believe that the package in which we "do" church, and especially "church services" is biblical, even Apostolic, in the modern execution.

Where does one begin? What can one say to such people with such false impressions?
How do you begin to "reason" with a people captivated with a great delusion?

"Some institutions are allowed to grow so old and venerable that the idea if scrapping them is unthinkably sacrilegious."
F.F. Bruce

"We are living in an age hopelessly below the New Testament pattern- content with a neat little religion."
Martin Lloyd-Jones

"....You are experts at setting aside the commandments of God in order to keep your tradition." Mark 7:8-9
