what a relief that we don’t have to be religious to follow Christ and know God
Wow….that is awesome!
This is awesome. I have shared this with another friend who is recovering from “religion”. Religion is really doing JESUS a diservice. Thanks to you (and Dave Foster) for pointing this out.
This so hits the mark!!! It’s not about us, what we do, how we serve, how awesome Lifepoint is — It’s all about Jesus–Jesus paid it all–all to Him we owe!!! We have a debt that we can never ever pay back, but the beautiful thing is, we don’t have to. All we can do is to humbly give our lives to Christ & live for Him more and more each and everyday until that glorious day when By HIS GRACE & HIS GRACE ALONE, HE takes us home to be with Him forever.
