Religion or Relationship?

The United States is filled with people of religion, but do not have relationship.

Those with religion regularly deceive themselves. They attend churches, they give their money to good causes, they pray, they do as much good as they possibly can do, they even talk to their neighbors, and help out their friends. They believe that all these things ensure that they will have a place in heaven, but these things alone do not ensure that they have eternal life. Their message is a wide gospel, love conquers all, God is love, God wants the best for you now, and if you experience the opposite, you are in sin and in danger of hell!

If this were true, I wouldn’t be writing what I am writing this very moment. It would not weigh so heavily on my heart, because all of that sounds so good, but it’s so far from the ultimate truth.

What I am about to reveal is offensive, and I don’t care if it offends you, because if I truly love you, I will reveal truth to you.

You must have a relationship with God…
