James 1:27
This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father, to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

I decided to go to more than a dozen different sources this morning to see how they defined religion; I got far more than a dozen different answers—not a single one of which bore any resemblance to the Lord's description through James! It appears that our Father sees true religion as the relationship between people, a relationship that is based on how we deal with each other, what we do or don't do and how we choose to do it. Our relationship with Him is solely based on what He has done—believing and receiving it!

Perhaps you don't realize that your relationship with the Lord may be based on how you treat the brother or sister you sit next to in your fellowship meetings. Perhaps we have lost sight of the fact that Jesus clearly said, 'And the King will answer and say to them, truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.” {Mat.25:40}

True Christianity, our faith, is not about pipe organs, padded pews and stained glass windows (or whatever your denomination's version of that is) true Christianity is simply a love affair with God, His Son and all of His family. And, yes, He is watching! Jesus said,

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
(John 13:34-35)

TEST EVERYTHING BY THE WORD OF GOD
