the word ‘religion'

 

James 1:27 says this Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. (NLT)  Nowadays we kinda get confused about the meaning of the word ‘religion.’ We tend to think of some legalistic standard that is truly impossible to meet. But my belief is that what it meant back then is a relationship with God, which is what we want.  God is all about relationship. This why He said that true religion is caring for orphans and widows in their pain, He wants us to care for others! This is more than going to other countries (which are still important) but going to places around your home town like the day-care or a pregnancy resource center or even a homeless shelter and volunteering your time there. God wants to use to be a light in dark and lonely places. God can use us anywhere we are. Will you embrace the call?
