26) If you claim to be religious but don't control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.
27) Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for the orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
My Pastor and I were discussing this new phase among Christians, where some are not wanting to be considered as religious. We're only guessing, but it seems nobody in this group wants to be considered in the same league as the religious leaders during Jesus' time. Well I don't want to be confused with that group either, but I'm not willing to kick religion to the curb.
God's the center of my religion.
Religion is not a practice that I am ashamed of. I am not "uncool" because I am a participant. Nor am I too "cool" to participate. In my religion, God is the Creator of all things. His Son is Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for the remission of my sin. Because I accept this as fact, I am in right standing with God. There are many other religions out there, but they are not centered around the worship of the only God there is-the Creator of heaven and earth and all that is within, the Father of Jesus Christ-the only Lord & Savior. God IS the God of my religion, and my religion is Christianity.
For some people, the following 3 words hold negative connotations-church, religion, and Christianity. The devil is a liar! The church of believers of Jesus Christ is a wonderful, functioning institution, that atheist are in lust of. Are there some in the church that are giving it a bad name, by not following the teachings of God? Yes, there are some. What can we do about them? PRAY! Make no mistake, Christ loves His church, and He IS coming back for it! Religion-there are many of them out there, do they all revolve around the worship of the only Creator, whose Son is Jesus Christ the Savior? Nope! Well as long as you are participating in the One religion that does, then don't be ashamed of your religion! Christianity-Lord, God, Almighty, this word makes some Christians afraid! LOL! Good, this word should be held in reverence! It is the One true religion that revolves around the pure worship of the Supreme Creator God Almighty! God is the Only God that Creates something out of nothing! God is the Only God that raises the dead! God is the Only God that heals the sick! God is the Only God who has a Son named Jesus Christ, who can save your soul from going hell! Come on! Negative connotations? Answer, be wiling to define what is negative, and what is not. Simple, do not let Satan define what God has determined to be good, as evil. Stay blessed! ♥
