new wineskins

Have you heard it said that the death of a new idea is the statement, ‘we’ve never done it that way before’? You may have heard this applied to business and commerce. Do you think it applies to spiritual matter too? Yet your faith is eternal and based on unchanging principles. I am timeless and unchanging, but you have much to learn and grow. Do not look at the current rituals of your faith as the final authority. They are wineskins for wine, and new wine requires new wineskins. You need organization and structure, but these are a means to an end, and when you receive greater revelation about that end you should be ready to move on to forms suitable for it.
