Challenging Thoughts

I am presently reading Mark Batterson's new book Primal. My review of the book will be up next week, but I could not let some initial thoughts pass.

I was barely into the book before I was hit between the eyes. On page 3, Mark wonders "if the accumulated layers of Christian traditions and institutions have unintentionally obscured what lies beneath.". A powerful statement. A challenging statement.

As we celebrate another Christmas, as we close another year and look expectantly to 2010, let us reconsider what it truly means to call ourselves Christian. If we are to be "Christ-like", should we pay attention to what He said and not tradition?
