A thought on redeeming the time:

Religion or Christianity?                                           March 10th

In today’s fast paced world, we often get caught up in trying to do everything at church ourselves, and worship gets shoved onto the back burner.  We do not recognize spiritual gifts in others and we do not allow them to operate within these spiritual gifted areas.  We get caught up in the ego game.  Pride gets in the way.  Our enemy, Satan, is busy hurling his fiery darts at us.  He says, “Go to church if you must, just do not worship!”

Satan disguises religious activities as worship and Christianity.  We become bogged down in activities and programs and become “religious.”  We find ourselves distracted from worshiping the Almighty God, settlling for time-stealing activities that will not count for eternity, because our hearts are not right with God.

Religion hangs around the cross – Christianity gets on the cross.  True Christianity is willing to die daily to self.    When you die to self, you are determined to put a stop to the whirlwind of activities robbing you of your precious time with God.

 “I will worship toward Thy holy temple, and praise Thy name for Thy lovingkindness and for Thy truth: for Thou hast magnified Thy word above allTthy name” (Psalm 138:2).

O Lord, may I not be deceived by the enemy.  May I clearly discern which activities and programs You desire for me to be involved in.  Reveal Your perfect plan to me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
