Religion is obsolete, having been replaced with something better
In recent years there has been renewed interest in what goes by the names of "worship and liturgy". Not to mention the mysterious and ubiquitous "worship service". What's come to light is the conclusion that eager men in the past have reverted and even changed these meanings back to their Old Testament contexts.
This short but keen book addresses a similar word in these recent studies - one which has been distorted way beyond its original import: religion. Religion technically means rituals. I must confess that I have misused it repeatedly in the past.
I notice the author writes anonymously, perhaps to avoid those of the status quo. Those who will quickly realize that they, the church, can do this without their well-intentioned assistance.
A super-exciting paradise shift has taken place. Yet most people don't get it. The Father now seeks those who will worship, not here or there, but in truth. Every hour - every day. All the types and shadows of the past have now been fulfilled in and by the Son who has sat down at the Father's right hand forever.
The previous priesthood, covenant, and rituals have been replaced by new and better things! Namely, every Spirit in-dwelt believer in Jesus, acting full-time in love to serve, minister and encourage others in his Name. Thus, from "worship services" we have been advanced to entire lives of worship and service!
But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs (the original priests of old) as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises. Hebrews 8:6
