Advent and Remembrance: How Our Traditions Shape Us

“Our God makes very clear in the story of redemption that he is after our hearts and not our empty actions (1 Sam. 16:7, Prov. 21:2). This steady ground gives us breathtaking freedom to examine the why behind the practices and liturgical rhythms of our personal and communal Advent, holding our choices up to Scripture and asking ourselves whether or not these things are good and right and true, and meet our worship goals.” - Advent and Remembrance: How Our Traditions Shape Us, by Holly Mackle
