"Religious commands are rooted in common behaviours that promote well-being and healthy relationships. By the time of Jesus, this connection to the deeper meaning of law and covenant had become glossed over by mere human traditions. When the Pharisees confronted the Jesus about the failure of his disciples to keep the ritual laws of washing, they were not concerned with either their closeness to God or to justice, but to undermine Jesus' authority. Jesus called the Jewish leaders back to the right attitude and behaviour rooted in hearts turned to God. It is not external behaviour that defines fidelity. Fidelity to the Law comes from living a deep internalization of its precepts.

The gospel hits home closer then we may think. What traditions do we blindly cling to? Are we doing this because we grew up doing them? Jesus calls us to look within us. Take a serious look at where our hearts lie and why we do what we do. The ultimate measure of how we regard the law is the growth of our relationships with each other and with God. This is what Jesus gave His life for, and there was no law about that."

too chim ?
hahah breaking it down,
the passage is asking when we go to church,
are we there to do 'lip-service' [i.e. going for the sake of going]
or are we there to do 'heart-service' [i.e. going there because we want to]
it also questions those who follow strictly by the book
challenging them to think
if they are true doing the right thing.
knowing the sacred rituals and such are important.
but how important can they be without faith?
faith is the root of these 'laws'
and these 'laws' aren't really laws
they are but a guidance to how we should live a Christian life
one can remember the do's and dont's in church
but at the end of the day
if you haven't got your faith
you haven't gone anywhere at all.


the passage in quotations were taken from the church bulletin
hahah sounds familiar ehh ?

its been a busyyyy weekend
between rushing out the class vidoes and cramming for prelims
slept a 5am last night trying to complete the class video
woke up at 9.30 and rushed to church

the primary2s were fidgety today ):
but some were really sweet
hahah
im getting so attached to them
their first confession's coming up

im definitely gonna follow thm up to primary3
father simon says i dont have to be thr all the time
but i should establish a connection with thm
so that they'll feel comfortable with me
especially once they're older
and need a listening ear
so yeah
i'll definitely be with them till their confirmation(:

so we said; thee, thee, hear. 20:15

Cause, if anything I’ve learnt,
I learnt that you’ll always break that one promise to yourself.
The one where you swore never to be hurt again.
The one where you vowed never to be so foolish once more.
