I'M Not Religious

You say your not religious Well neither my friend am I It was man that made religion It was Christ that came for us to die He came to earth with a purpose And that purpose was to set us free From the guilt, the sin, the daily shame All chains of captivity It was the religious leaders of his day That used their power as a tool It was Jesus that came to do away With all the man made rules Rules that held the people down The same as they do today Invite Jesus into your heart right now And let freedom have its way You say your not religious Well neither my friend am I It was man that made religion It was Christ that came for us to die

Well written, I understand your point of view, organized religion has for the most part been hypocritical, not representing the truth that sets us free. Accepting Jesus as our saviour is essential, but belief must mature into faith, that is based on accurate knowledge. That accurate knowledge must come from somewhere! Really well said!

Don't get me wrong, I'm in church every chance I get! Iron sharpens iron and I need all the sharpening I can get!
