    Jesus is more than religion. Jesus is about a daily personal relationship. There are more than just 10 commandments, 613 MITZVOT AND 4,973 rules. The DO i HAVE TO attitudes misses the target of love. Our goal: THAT I MIGHT KNOW HIM...

    We aren't called to be observers but to be doers.

    1 John 3:16-19 (NLT) 16 We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.  This isn't necessarily dying physically for someone but we should be willing to give a part of ourselves for others ...read more

    Are You Religious? Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 9, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,075 views

    Typically, a person's idea of being religious is just going through rituals and practices associated with the faith. In James 1:26-27 God defined what it means to be religious. So regardless of what we think it means we need to learn what God said it is.

    ARE YOU RELIGIOUS? (part one) James 1:26-27 INTRODUCTION: When people would ask me if I was religious I would say, no, because to me, being religious kind of had a negative connotation. Because typically, a person's idea of religious is going through rituals and practices associated with the ...read more

     | 5,602 views

    In the beginning of James 1:27, James highlights that part of pure religion in the eyes of God is looking after orphans and widows in their distress. Let's take a look at why this would be an indicator of being truly religious.

    ARE YOU RELIGIOUS? (part two) Recap: James 1:26, "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless." We looked at chapter three and realized why James highlighted the tongue-because it's the hardest to tame. ...read more
