Religion!


In Paul's letter to the Galatians Womens Marquise Blair Jersey , he sternly reminded them that ? was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery,? (Galatians 5:1). Like many still today however, the Galatians were not standing firm in the faith and had consequently returned to the bondage from which Christ had rescued them. They had once again become subject again the slavery of religion. No wonder Paul asked, ?Who has bewitched you?? After all, who but a bewitched person would ever surrender the joy of absolute freedom and intimacy with the Creator of the universe for the misery of slavery represented by religion?


In his book ?Grace Land,? writer Steve McVay wrote: ?The underlying foundation of all religion is performance ? whether it's a tribal dance around a campfire to satisfy the fire god, or a dead religious activity performed week after week by an evangelical Christian with the intent of impressing his God. It's all religious performance Womens L.J. Collier Jersey , and God isn't impressed by our performance. What impresses Him is faith.?


So, if anyone is pressuring us to jump through spiritual hoops, and we're feeling an obligation to do anything 'spiritual? for any reason other than out of pure passionate zeal for the cause of Christ and the advancement of His Kingdom, cease at once!


What constitutes a doctrine of devils? In a word, idolatry. It's any rule that makes a person a slave to itself or that pridefully draws attention away from Jesus Christ Himself. You see, Christianity is about Christ. Nothing more,nothing less. It is the nature of mankind to desire to 'manage? a thing Womens Michael Dickson Jersey , in this case, God's church, of which Jesus is the head. So, we organize and traditionalize to the point where an entire Sunday service will often have very little to do with strengthening our relationship with Christ. ?The traditions of man make the word of God of no affect,?(Mark 7:13). Wow! Some powerful traditions, huh? This is why the Lord said in the last days the church would have a form of godliness but denying the power thereof, (2 Timothy 3:5).


Is your church powerful? Not financially Womens Shaquem Griffin Jersey ,numerically, or politically, but in the things of the Spirit? Does the devil tremble as a result of your prayers and acts of righteousness, the impact you're having on your community for the advancement of the Gospel? Examine your denomination. What are their tenants of faith and do they have scriptural support? Put aside your family ties to a denomination, your comfort zone. Examine the fruit of your congregation. Then your own family. Then your own life. Examine all in comparison to the doctrine of Christ. He alone is the standard.


Speaking of ?The Church,? when we hear those words, do they call to mind a grand building with stained glass and a steeple? Why would think that way here in the Western world when the Scripture says Womens Chris Carson Jersey , ? Most High does not dwell in houses made with hands; as the prophet says, `Heaven is my throne, and earth my footstool. What house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest? Did not my hand make all these things?'" (Acts 7:44-50). Then there's this verse: ?Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and that temple you are." (1 Corinthians 3:16-17). Our Eastern brothers in places where thousands are coming to faith in Jesus daily Womens Russell Wilson Jersey , amidst persecution, would never think of the church as anything other than the Body of Christ, the People themselves.


The word ?church? comes from the Greek word, ekklesia meaning ?Called out ones.? We seem to refer to the church as those who are called IN. Simply put, the Church has nothing to do with the buildings. It is an organism, not an organization; the beautiful, living Bride of Christ and not a cyborg.


The doctrine of Christ is obvious. As His mother Ugo Amadi Jersey , the blessed Mary, said when He performed His first miracle at Cana, turning water into wine, ?Do whatever He says,? (John 2:5) Very profound Mary! Do the things in red letters, Christians! Let the words of Christ serve as your doctrine. Let the deeds of Christ serve as your model. Let the acts of the early church, which strived to walk in the light of His truth serve as your group's guide to church life. Start over Phil Haynes Jersey , if necessary. Whether it's your church government, your stance on miracles, spiritual gifts, your opinion of Mary? seek the truth of Scripture. Get out those concordances and Greek and Hebrew dictionaries and lexicons. Review the words of Jesus. Shine the light on the basic doctrine and dogmas of your group, compare your findings to what you've been trained to believe .
