Christianity is an exercise in love. Religion is an exercise in rules. The difference is large.

Christianity is an individual personal intimate relationship with Jesus that is an ongoing friendship of trust, but never between equals. Religion can be an impersonal unknown impersonal un relational fact sheet based on mistrust.

Squabbling over detail matters of faith changes Christianity into a religion, puts Jesus back on the cross, and makes us once again sinners unsaved by grace.

If you don't understand this, how sad. This is why people have such a deathly craving for controversy. The days ahead are not rich in fellowship, but dark and isolation. Its out of the ashes of isolation that serial killers of faith are born. Beware.

 Thanks, Richard, from the bottom of my heart for the prayers! Physically...PTL, I AM finally better! Professionally my life is still not truly back on track...no doubt this is why the LORD had you praying.

You are back and feeling better I hope. For some reason I prayed for you the other day. I am sure it was not a mistake.

ohh yes, scary, but goes around comes around. I feel life has a way of cleaning up religious fanatics, one way or another.
