No Wonder Churches Have So Many Rituals



March 30, 2018

I often get impatient with church rituals and directives. It seems like sometimes pomp takes over, when Jesus seemed to advocate a simple life.
But then I look at Passover. It started as a grab-and-go situation. But before it even happened, the Lord directed the Israelites to commemorate it every year by observing it for 7 days, culminating in a festival. The directions came complete with rules on what to sacrifice, etc.
I guess people aren’t the only ones to blame for making life (and religion) more complicated than it needs to be.
