It is very easy to fall into a pattern of following traditions in our churches. We get used to doing the things our parents and their parents did in church. We start to believe that we are following God just because we are following a list of things to do.
If we choose to follow God it is the only thing that matters to us. Nothing gets in our way of following God. We stay focused on what matters, God. We show others we follow God and not religion by the way we live our life.
Following religion will lead us to distraction and take us off track. Following God leads us to the feet of Jesus. Following religion can be complicated and rigid. Following God is simple and brings glory only to God.
We live in a country where we have many options for the type of church we want to attend. Pray about where you attend church. Does your church lead you to the feet of Jesus? Church should not be about religion but about God.
Take time to pray and ask God to show you if you are following religion or God. Take a look at the way you live your life. Are you showing others you are following God or religion? God is about love, grace and freedom.
