Do You Consider Yourself Religious?

-

“If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:26–27 (KJV)

Religion is defined as belief in and reverence for God, our creator and the ruler of the universe. It is also an organized system of doctrine with an approved pattern of behavior and a proper form of worship. Being religious without knowledge is devoid of rewards. Christianity is not a mere religion; it is the life of God reigning in the heart of a person, causing him or her to have fellowship with God and live the way He wants them to. However, there is a religion in Christianity; this is what the opening scripture seeks to elaborate. It starts with having full control over your tongue; it continues with visiting the fatherless and widows, especially in their distress; and it includes keeping oneself uncontaminated by the world. Dear beloved, hold on to the true religion in Christ, and many lives will be blessed through you. Hallelujah! God bless you!

Prayer Point: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for giving me the grace to practice true religion in Christ Jesus and to be blessed. Amen!

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
