Not Moldy Religion‏

Yes your Majesty Honour and Glory to you forever and ever Amen

Forward with the Gospel
Having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit from (Rom 6:22)
___________

Rev. Eng. JK. Maragia
One thing that really bugs me is the idea that God is against fun and joy. It's the lie that freedom from sin means that our lives are religiously drained away.

The irony of it all is that most of us have tried to really live as best we know how. But we end up in a mess or worse- we pretend that we are truly satisfied.

God wants us to have real life- we just go about it the wrong way. Jesus came that we might have life and has it to the full. (John 10:10) When we surrender our own efforts to find fulfillment and instead turn to know Jesus then he teaches us to live.
Minister Madam Anastasia

Jesus said that whoever tries to save his life will lose it. We need him, not our moldy attempts to be religious. Even through pain and our many short comings, Jesus brings us into satisfying life in love and service. Let's pray.



Lord Jesus, thank you for your promise of eternal quality life both now and later. Help me to rest in you- to turn away from trying to fulfill myself and then to put my trust in you. Help me to follow you loving others. Amen.

Today's very great and precious promise

"For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." (Mat 16:25)

We have God's Word on it.
