Religion-ship

So often, we get caught up in Religion that we forget about the actual Active and Living God.

Religion is a variety of approaches to worshipping and learning about the SAME God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

What we should seek more than Sunday morning church is a relationship with the Maker of the Universe... instead of just listening to another man's take on God, why don't we discover Him for ourselves?

You see, God is the same, never changing, but your interpretation may be completely different than your Pastor's. What I'm saying is that is OK.

We need to come to the realization that God is living, and we have a fire actively burning in our hearts to know him! We can water that fire and let it burn out by going to Sunday morning church and feeling content in that. We need to add ammunition to that fire by seeking answers, by asking questions, and by SEARCHING for God!

I know this life is filled with sorrow, and there are days when the pain just lasts and lasts,
but there will be a day when our pain is washed away....
God is SO Holy, so majestic, and so complex... we cant even begin to fathom his ways!

I challenge you to seek God this week... ask a question and find an answer, but I bet you won't just find one...

What I've discovered is there are no definites in my answers, the only is that God is Love, and Love has come and died for us all. Yet I still find peace and even more honor for my God as I seek His presence and understanding of His unfathomable ways and will!
