James 1:26-27
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
What kind of religion do we have? Is it like a…
* SPARE TIRE (used only in the case of an emergency)?
* WHEELBARROW (easily upset and must be pushed)?
* BUS (ridden only when it goes your way)?
Real Religion:
- Constrained
- Proverbs 10:19: “When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.
- Psalms 39:1 I said, “I will guard my ways, Lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, While the wicked are before me.”
- Caring
- Matthew 25( Read)
- Clean
- to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
- Phil 2:14-16 Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
