Logical Worship | The Liturgical Nature of Man

Logos Podcast

In this episode, we dive into the need for the liturgy and rituals. St. Paul talks about humanity needing to enter into "logical worship"...what is he talking about?

Those vestments, those middle aged men called "priests", the kneeling and standing, the funky smelling smoke, the weird repetitive prayers all smack of a weird cult; therefore, its pointless.
