Let's Hav a Simple, truthful and a Spiritual Advent

Let's worship the lord as truthful, as simple and as spiritual as ever during this Advent.

John 4:23 (The Message)But the time is coming--it has, in fact, come--when what you're called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. "It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship

When the Shepherds came to worship, they came with empty hands, willing hearts and an open mind. The Wise Men came with some ideas and brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.It is easy to get caught up in “little rituals”.

They are all around us in life and we feel sometimes fell more comfortable when “little rituals” are being performed and spoken in a formula of words.

As we approach Christmas we need to seek to worship Jesus in a simple yet truthful and spiritual way. They may mean leaving of the little rituals and just doing it in simple faith the Shepherds who said “let u go and see this thing which has been made known to us”.
