The Rule Keeper

Some people prefer a God of rules because rules are clear. If you follow the rule then you are right with God and there will be rewards for this.  You keep the rule and your God keeps you.  Such people don’t care much for meditation.  It is too fuzzy and inconsistent.  They don’t have any way to measure “how am I doing?”  For them, often, if you break rules, ignore rules, diminish or deny rules then God will get you.  They see only chaos in that way of life.  If the sermon is long, pointless, redundant, you go to worship anyway.  It’s the rule.  Growth?  One can only hope.
