What do you think about the definition of "Religion"?
"a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects"
"the body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefs and practices"
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/religion
Does it mean what you thought it meant?
Does it say anything about your relationship with God?
Does it say anything about God?
This definition does not describe what I have and experience with my God. The God of Abraham. I can not even find where "religion" fits in my life. If "religion" is about obeying man's rules or set of beliefs than I don't want to be considered "religious". I do not want any part of it in my life concerning my relationship with God. I don't want "religion". I want a relationship with God: a relationship with him that is so close that I speak with him everyday and he with me. I want a relationship with God that leads me and guides me in the direction I should go, to do whatever his will is for my life, and to serve others. I want a relationship with God when I know him so well that I recognize when he tells me no and I reply "yes Lord" because I just want to please him. Who needs "religion"when you have a relationship with God like that? I will not need man's set of beliefs and rules. I will have God's beliefs and rules. I will have the mind of Christ not the mind of man.
After considering the definition of "religion", I realize that I don't have or want "religion". I have God and a relationship with him. The bible never said that I need "religion". It says that I need Christ. The question is: What do you have? "Religion" or a relationship with Christ. Selah (pause and think on this)
