I am certain that there are many true believers out there who will be very bothered by what I have to say on this matter. I'm going to ask you to listen anyhow.
For years I have heard prayers by very devout Christians pleading with God to remove the spirit of religion from the Church. Until recently I've prayed many of these prayers myself. I believe we've made a grave mistake in doing so, one with far reaching consequences.
Our mistaken prayers come from a misunderstanding of what it means to be truly religious. As an overall faith culture the masses have clung to clever sayings like "I'm not religious; I just love Jesus," rather than seeking out what Scripture really has to say about it.
Join with me, Karen Pennington, as I present and wrestle with what Scripture really has to say about religion, and why we desperately need to invite that spirit of true religion back in our church. If you're not convinced, I invite you to wrestle with the Scripture below on your own (sometimes religion is translated as worship or holiness, but the word is the same in the original Greek). If you find the message true and compelling, then I ask you to share it with others.
Let's bring back the power of pure and undefiled religion into our churches.
