At the risk of ruffling some feathers – There is a shift of our hearts and minds that we (myself firstly) need to be reminded of and dwell on every day. Lord Reveal.
We want to proclaim Christianity as a religion, well maybe not intentionally but in actuality we do – by the way we shame on others for discussing outside of our christian bubble – God forbid we come to work, come to the park, come to lunch, walk the streets and discuss or maybe put on religion – but is that what we really should be ‘wearing or discussing’ We are such a stiff-necked people – As far as Christ in me goes, I’m, by His mercy proclaiming a Person, not a religion – I’m delightedly discussing my Rescuing Savior – the only One who came to save your dead soul – Religion Shmeligion – can we as believers move away from this – I am tired of the portrayal of goodness.

And when we are these things, It’s only by the Grace of Christ within us. Christianity is not a religion and as long as we live like it is we will never share with another person not only by not proclaiming God’s Grace, God’s Love, and Everlasting Life within our family but never will you in any other aspect of life to every person He places in your midst. We won’t feel compelled because the compelling arises when you have a personal encounter with a Person, The Forsaken Risen King, Creator of the Universe, Magnificent Lord, Merciful Father. Have you not seen, Have you not heard?! My Creator and Redeeming Lord set me in motion for His glory, not to appease man but to appease Him because He is the only Faithful Perfect One, Savior, Redeemer, Deliverer, Love of my Eternal, Everlasting Life who wants YOUR Life and Heart, not your good works or juiced up glossed over religion. Not one person would ever be in Pursuit for YOU this passionately and yet He, The Christ is rejected every day. I love you this much because of Christ in me. Come and dwell in the house of The Lord forever!
Matthew 21:41-43 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they declared, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his fruits in their seasons.” Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.…
