I would be cautious in faulting religion instead of those who are charged with carrying it forward. If we are to be like Jesus (a person who held a system of beliefs and practices), should we not focus on living our religion more perfectly instead of ignoring those practices deemed holy by our Savior?

…and there you have it folks. You can stop making more redonkulous rebuttal videos. This about sums it up.

Many deaths must go into reaching our maturity in Christ. Many letting goes.
— Elisabeth Eliot (via loveadinfinitum)

We Protestants fear works because we see the Law as a source of rightness, not unlike the Pharisees and scribes of Jesus’ day. Instead, may we learn to forever see it as the course of rightness and seek to uphold it, through Christ’s inner sanctification, unto the ages.

Wooden Heart // Listener

I still believe in anchors.

Come on and sew us together.

The dawn intimates that the night is over, but it does not yet proclaim the full light of day. Are not all of us who follow the truth in this life both daybreak and dawn? We do some things which already belong to the light, but we are not free from the remnants of darkness. It will be fully day for the church when she is no longer darkened by the shadow of sin. It will be fully day for her when she shines with the perfect brilliance of interior light. This dawn is an ongoing process. When the dawn has come, the day will retain nothing belonging to the darkness of night.
— St. Gregory the Great
It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.
— Soren Kierkegaard (via fathershane)

I do not celebrate waywardness, but I am here to seek the lost. I will leave ninety-nine church members to seek the one lost poet.
— Makoto Fujimura
The purpose of our lives is not to see how much of God we can absorb, but instead to see how much of God we can reflect to the world around us.
— My dear brother, Peter Emerick
