Real Religion
JAMES 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
How does one know that they are very religious? The strange answer is- how many people do you visit, especially widows and orphans.
We may quickly reply- I am too busy. We may say why should I visit them? But God gives it to us a the measure of our religion.
The second part of the answer is how different are we that worldly people? Do we dress different? Do we talk and act different? Do we love different things?
So let me ask the question- How religious are we?
Think about it- PASTOR JOE
