Getting Back In Touch With God
Without all the legalese and Churchianity
Is there a rubric for worshipping God in the 21st Century?
I’ve pondered this for a couple of years now. I can’t help but wonder: did we lose the meaning of life by doing meaningless traditions?
Matthew 15:3 ESV
He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?”
When I was first “saved”, I went to church willingly all the time. I was fifteen and instead of being excited over slumber parties and movies- I was more excited to put on my long skirt and grab my floral print bible case to go to the Baptist church down the street.
Most Sundays and Wednesdays I attended with my aunt. On Saturdays, I attended teen meetings where they served fruit and cake and helped us with understanding college applications.
All in all, not bad.
I had a routine with God. Give him honor on Sundays. Fellowship and bible studies on Wednesdays. Then on Saturday, I hang out with other kids like me.
But it was those nights alone with the Lord that I found a most and beautiful meaning. Those nights I cried out to him for my father to stop smoking. I plead with God to bring my parents back to together.
