For Harrison, it was the hypocrisy of institutionalised religion,


I can’t argue with that, and also people.

The truth is God destroyed the religion institution. He destroyed the temple, removed the ritual sacrifices, tore the curtain from top to bottom, removed the priests.

We rebuilt it. Why?

The essence of the New Covenant is a personal relationship with God. We are the temple, we are the priests, we are the prophets.

Are you born again? Does God’s Word have purpose in your life? Do you see evidence of the Holy Spirit?

One revealing question is the answer to: Did God choose you or did you choose God.

From the beginning in The Garden of Eden, God wanted a personal relationship with his creation. Why? I don’t know.

It's okay to not know. In fact, their are many "not knows" in the word of God. It absolutely does not mean their is not truth in those words!

1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Now that's a pretty neat and powerful promise.
