Religion

Organized religion can be referred to as Christendom ….. a chaotic mess of dogma

Heart vs Intellect

So important to understand the Word of God with the heart,

Not ……

with the intellect

Wow

Jesus’ path did not lead to earthly fortune, no ….. it led to a cross

Yes .....

Religion-free Christianity — amen

Deception

The world’s system of religion is made up of every group of worshippers, except ……… those with hearts that hunger for Jesus

Equal.....?

In God’s thinking ….

Intellectualism does not equate with wisdom

Money does not equate to success

Important

Spiritual matters trump the things of the world

Voting

Those who follow Jesus are not spiritually obligated to vote in national elections —

they simply have a constitutional, civil right to do so …

Choices

One can choose the world’s system of death,

or…..

the one-step life-program of Jesus

Brick or Flesh

Jesus does not want buildings that are designed by humans — big, expensive, flashy places to worship….

Jesus wants individual hearts — humble, repentant hearts that He Himself can remake to beat for God and others…

Choices

Would you …..

prefer to hear a loud confirming applause of agreement to your thoughts and ideas,

or ….

will you listen to Truth, the whisper inside your soul…..?

Ugh.....

Being religious does not equate to being a follower of Jesus

Vanity

World has a lot of information, but no wisdom

Reading Scripture

Maybe people do not read The Word of God because The Bible actually reads us … many do not want to hear the verdict of our Maker

Blood Disorder

Contemporary Christianity is anemic; it is not eating a steady diet of “The Word” of God

Sin Problem

Religion does not cure sin-infection — just a band aid covering the sore

Church-going does not cure sin-infection — just a band aid covering the sore

Jesus’ blood removes sin

Faux Christians

CINO

Christians In Name Only
