Good Morning! Isaiah 29:13 The Lord says:"These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men." Now today I'm probably going to step on some toes, But if I do, if I get you mad a little bit, lets think about WHY! All my life I have been brought up in a Good Christian Home. Being taught the Morals and Values of the Bible. And was raised a Lutheran. And I am a member of a Lutheran Church, but today I ask myself where in the Bible do I read about all these Religions? In the book of Acts for any of these Religions we are supposed to follow, I only see 2 references and that is Christian and Fellowship of Believers. So. Ask myself where did we come up with all these different ways that we are supposed to worship God, and which way is truly the correct way? In Acts 2:42 it says, They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. OK! What fellowship are they talking about. Someone said to me once, "That is why I don't join a Church, because of all the Politics! But you see if you call yourself a Christian, You are a member of a Church. Jesus' Church! In the last part of today's Vs it says Their worship of me is made up only by rules taught by men. So I ask myself today? Why do I go to the Church I go to? And what Church or Denomination is Truly correct? Is our Religions and Denominations just Lip Service to God? How does He look at all these different Religions and Denominations? For me I think it comes down to what is in your Heart. The relationship you have with Jesus in your heart. Because that is where the True Church is. Where ever Jesus is! Maybe I am a Rebel CHRISTIAN! And I'm sure someone will have something to say, or not say about what I said today. But let me ask you this, who out there can tell me what is the right Religion without going into what they were taught at Seminary or Theological College. Can you tell me who's Doctrine is Right? And who made these Doctrines. I know I don't live my life perfect and like I said yesterday, God is always watching and He knows our hearts. So am I living today the way the Bible tells me I should live. Or am I living the way my Religion tells me I should live. One thing I do know is Christ is my Savior. So that makes me a Christian! Where does that Church meet on Sundays! And is Sunday really the 7th day? These are questions that I have been asking myself lately? HABD!

Just Lip Service!
