I suppose that the rituals and prompts, and calendar events used by the church to keep the flock focused on a faithful and enduring life in Christ will always have a place. It is good to incorporate them into the home lives of Christians, because their repetition forms bonds and traditions for the family of God. But it is important that the ritual not become the main event. The Christian life is first and foremost an undistracted personal relationship and close knit reverence for the person of Christ, as exclusively described in the Apostles Creed. A daily desire to know God more intimately, praying frequently, growing in grace….this is the one needful thing. Soli Deo Gloria
