I HATE RELIGION BUT LOVE JESUS

Happy Friday,

 

I have 2 videos to share today and what is

interesting is they have a similar theme to them

though I wasn't intentionally looking for this, it

just happened :)

 

And as we know, there isn't any coincidences when

serving our Heavenly Father.

 

The theme of these seem to be what is wrong with

the American church today.  

 

The first one is about hating religion but loving

Jesus, something that has been said many times in

the Bradley household, especially when someone

asks, so, what religion are you?  :) I'm glad you

asked that, let me start out by saying....

 

Side note (it's so interesting to start out by

stating you hate religion, then pause for a  few

seconds and say but I love Jesus to people who are

not saved.

 

It's the last thing they expect to hear and it

breaks down their barrier and more often than not,

it leads to a great discussion and we have seen

several people end up coming to Christ over the

course of time by answering their question that

way. -- end of side note :)

 

The 2nd one is about making disciples.

 

So here is the first video, Why I Hate Religion

But Love Jesus. The title says it all. This is

actually a poem and seeing a young man coming to

the end of himself and finding Jesus with a REAL

transformation is definitely encouraging to see

during these tough times.

 

Here is the same one but with the words on the

screen instead of the guy reciting his poem.

 

Why I Hate Religion but Love Jesus - The Words On

Screen

 

Here's the 2nd video here called, This is

Discipling.

 

This talks about, well not talks, but puts on

screen how would church be different if we were in

fact focused on making disciples.

 

I'll let you watch it to see where they're going

but I agree that I believe our American churches

have lost their mission in trying to reach people

through all these other avenues but missed the

point of making disciples so the people in the

church can go out and reach the lost but somehow

we have it backwards where we are relying on

programs to reach the lost.

 

And I'll say I have nothing against these

programs/outreaches, in fact, I have participated

and seen results so I believe they can have their

place but not at the expense of training and

making disciples of Christians in their walk.

Have a very blessed weekend!
