It’s easy for us to get bogged down in thinking about “rules.” Doing so can indeed result in a hollow “going through the motions.” In fact, I believe it was this kind of feeling that led Martin Luther to become disenchanted with the rites of the Catholic church and seek a more personal relationship with Christ.

I also believe that even if we are keeping the commandments for what I think of a “lesser reasons” that obedience can still lead us to a higher level of understanding and love. (See my post under the “Perfection” thread for more of my thoughts on this.)
