All during lent for the last few years Col2:16-23 runs through my head particulary 16&20-23Col2:16Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day ------ 20If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, 21"Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!" 22(which all refer to things destined to perish with use)--in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men? 23These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence. I tend to wonder if adding (catholic) ceremonies is just the natural progession of the many baptist churches recently, -- add altar call -- come forward in order to be saved -- pray this prayer -- practice this ceremony to be sanctified we have been getting way to man centered in our church and the logical & dangerous conclusion is to become merely ceremonial. I believe col2:23 applies: the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion ....but are of no value against fleshly indulgence. |
