For the next several weekends at church we are going to be revisiting some of our favorite sermon series. This weekend we are going to go back over "Religion Stinketh". (In case you were wondering, stinketh is a word - John 11:39)
Religion is man's attempt to please God by adhering to rules and regulations. Christianity is not about religion, it's about a relationship with God through Jesus Christ (See Romans 3). Religion brings with it bondage, the relationship brings freedom.
Galatians 5:1, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
AMEN!!! i think we get so busy doing other stuff that we forget about the relationship part.
