Grace for your spirit. February 22, 2012

Grace for your spirit
"Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel." which translated means, "God with us." Matthew 1:23 The Word made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory as the only begotten of the Father Jn 1:14

As the song goes, "Heaven came down and glory filled my soul." Christianity is about God reaching down and touching us. Religion is about us trying to reach up and touch God. As Paul told the Athenians, "You are very religious, superstitious, and ignorant. This time of year I get questions about Ash Wednesday and Lent. Ash Wednesday is religion. A day of transition from revelry to holiness. Lent is a forty day sacrifice to prepare for Easter. It is all religion and mocks the principle of living a holy life, honoring God every day. May we suggest being in Christ, walking after the Spirit, and leave the religion to hypocrites. Come out of the darkness and into the light.
