    Gimme That Old Time Religion”

    Illus: Some of the words that the congregation sang were, “Gimme that Old Time Religion” because they said: • It will do when I am dying, it will do when I am dying. It will do when I am dying, it’s good enough for me. • It will make us read our Bibles, It will make us read our Bibles, It will ...read more

    We need to make sure we test our religion to see if it has value or not. The heart of pure religion is not in the garb, the traditions, the rituals but is based in Love in action.

    Do your works, deeds, actions or words reflect Christ? Can someone attribute to you the things that you do are Christ-like? Or are you doing them for your own advantage?

    Other lies state that Jesus did not bring forth a new Testament, AKA, Religion. These next verses prove that that statement is misleading. For without a New Testament the gentile race would have no chance for salvation.

    Sick Religion And Healed Hearts

     | 17,707 views

    Religion is sick when it is system-only, salvation-only, or self-only. Christ gives us instead a relationship with Himself, a model of life, and an embracing compassion.

    Religion is either one of life’s greatest blessings, or it is one of the sickest things we do. Religion can be wonderful. I assume that because you are in church today you agree with that. Religion can be fulfilling, it can be instructive, it can be inspiring. Religion has driven so much of ...read more
