As for the formality of religious service, however, the hypocrite often outdoes the sincere Christian. Of all people he may be called a "master of ceremonies" because he tries to entertain God with his tongue and knee, with only words and outward ceremony. Yet God looks on the heart. If the wine is good a man can drink it from a plain wooden cup. But if a goblet is wonderfully gilded, but has no wine in it, the host mocks his guest by offering it to him.-William Gurnall (The Christian in Complete Armour: Daily Readings in Spiritual Warfare, ed. James S. Bell, Jr.)

I see you are reading organic church. I would love to talk about it. Of course you know, that is required reading over here. The TL backs the model 170%.
