I know this already has come up this month but this was a Facebook memory so I thought I'd post it on PB too.
Advent candles.
Opinion: A candle is either a circumstance or a part of worship. If a candle is for lighting it is a mere indifferent circumstance. If it is only used for special times (and that being times long steeped in will worship), has a special name, is invested with some kind of meaning and there are actions aka ceremonies attached to it, it is not a circumstance; thus it is a part of the worship, and none of those things being prescribed by God’s Word, it is will worship.
