We are free from the slavery of religion and from the fear of rejection, alienation, and guilt.
AMEN!
Ain’t freedom grand?
Takes all the stress out of a relationship with God.
And this is what Paul, James, Peter, and John mean when they say they are bond-servants of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. They are free from the bondage of sin, and have willfully surrendered to Christ, just as an OT bond-servant offers himself to a master.
**Takes all the stress out of a relationship with God.**
It is all very, very simple.
Why strike out the word Christian?
I doubt the author would appreciate your changing his title.
Did you get his permission to do that and represent something different that he wrote?
Try again.....

I see flame baiting.
JMO.

So simple, a 5 year old can understand it. My son was 5 when he got the memo. 😂😇😎
Yes, but that is allowed if one is of a certain persuasion. And we who are not of that persuasion are not allowed to counter that the catholic Mass illustrated with the picture is a blasphemy to the Blood of Jesus The Christ. That is not permitted in response to a certain persuasion.
And some folks challenge me for marking my devotionals as a Caucus.
Colossians 2:16-23 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.
If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.
Right in line with my tag! :-)
Just my $0.02 -- keeping them caucused would probably be the more Christian thing to do since it would reduce ... temptation.
:D

Very true.
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
A most charitable and noble thought, sir.
