Shall we dress down "Protocol" for a dressed down society?

A Point of Protocol:


“Protocol is everything.” Francois Giuliani 

Protocol, an established code of behavior, is silent but steeped in tradition and required courtesies. A breach in protocol often goes unspoken but has ruined many promising relationships.

Cry “Glory, Hosanna” to both as He is Lord of my past and present. It is only when I fail to recognize Him that I am lost in who I am worshipping. It is only when I cannot discern the correct purpose of His presence in my life at that moment and I mistake His position for a different type of purpose that I am duped. He is present sometimes, not in power to deliver, but in power to b humble and to place upon me a yoke of humility and service. Sometimes He is present to teach me how to serve.  Truly he wasn’t riding a stallion of victory, but a donkey, a symbol of service, humbleness, hard work, and perseverance. Isaiah 29:13 “Therefore the Lord said: "These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. ...
