I DO NOT WANT RELIGION, I WANT JESUS!

Religion is a fake and a substitute for the real thing!

2 Timothy 3:5

having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

What makes religion so dangerous?!

It takes the focus and attention away from Jesus and look at objects and rituals rather than a real and personal relationship with Jesus!

Hebrews 12:2

looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,

What flows out of a real relationship?

1 Corinthians 13

 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.  For we know in part and we prophesy in part,  but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.  When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.  For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
