Nothing good comes from a dead person who can't seal the deal. 3273

Live it..
Christianity is not a religion, even though most everyone calls it one. Religion is defined as man trying to reach God and Christianity as just the opposite, God reaching man. However now that we've established that, know that some religions still insist they're Christian. This is spite of the fact their practices are paganistic even though they have Christian names. They have their own version of Bible with certain "changes" and for generations have discouraged anyone reading it. You know them by the way they pay homage to dead things.

They revere wearing little crosses with Jesus' dead body hanging on it. They regard certain dead people as "holy," proudly displaying statues of them in a european likeness, and even name buildings after them. They pray to dead people, believing they intercede in human events, and that Jesus' mother didn't need her Son's forgiveness of sin. And if that wasn't enough evidence, they ignore His words, "no man comes to the Father but through Me." Then, when you've all but concluded no one is righteous in this pagan cult, the most amazing thing happens. When exposed to the Bible and having open heart, God can still reach people and they come out, bearing evidence of the real difference, individuals are Christian, not organizations.

Pray it
I need many people today, but the only One I have is You, Jesus. You've never forsaken me or turned your back on me. And You delivered on Your promises. Was there ever any doubt? TY!
