Whether your traditions be old or new,
they can’t be the centre of worship.
It shouldn’t make-or-break faith for you,
although you may still prefer it.

Your God isn’t the God of the Bible,
if your theology requires your culture.
For God’s word is ever applicable;
to the past, the present, and future.

Be careful about what means you use,
not everything is truly neutral.
Don’t gather for an experience,
but to grow by all that’s truthful.

If it’s used to shape your emotions,
doing so apart from God’s living truth,
it’s replaced God in your devotions,
and become an idol under his roof.

At the end of first John we read just this:
“Little children, keep yourselves from idols;”
Don’t put your brother’s faith at risk;
Seek God, not by style, but by Bible.
