Apr. 17, 2008 - Conveyor Belt - for Religion?
A mom just asked on one of my TJEd forums if it was possible for us to be on a conveyor belt with our religion, church, etc. Ooooh, wish I had come up with this question! Its exactly what I've been thinking about, even posting about, but never connected it to the TJEd principal of riding the conveyor belt. But she's right, and I absolutely agree with her.
We question the status quo with education, but do we challenge the status quo with the most important facet of our lives, our spiritual lives and our salvation? I believe we need to question EVERYTHING!
I look at it this way, we are made in the image of God and are called by Him to be Holy (like Him). But following church traditions that we have no clue as to their history doesn’t necessarily make us holy LIKE HIM. If we have no idea if the traditions are biblical or OF HIM, that is something that should be researched, because they may seem pretty on the surface, but if they are not OF HIM, they probably won’t make us Holy LIKE HIM.
Lots to ponder as I try to simplify, and get down to basics.
