My roommate and I went to Jerusalem last year just for 3 days. Growing up this was one of my dreams, to actually see and walk where Jesus walked. But being there didn’t do anything for me. The Old City, where all the tourists go, is just so religious. It made me feel sick. I saw people praying to statues, kissing statues, kissing the ground, & touching old stones and buildings as if they were holy. I have a real problem with this. Sure these old buildings are interesting and historical and they can help us understand the world Christ lived in, but they’re not holy. God alone is holy. We need to be worshiping Him, not buildings and stones on this earth. God cares about our hearts, not our religion.
