It’s possible that you’ve lived your entire life knowing religious tradition, without ever knowing Christ Himself. Rituals aren’t the same thing as relationship, and it’s important for us to sift through the traditions we hold and figure out what we need to hold onto as “non-negotiable”. The only way to discern the difference is by studying what comes from Scripture and what doesn’t. And in order to grow in our relationship with God, we have to be willing to let go of some things and hold fast to others.
