Religion vs. Jesus

Religious people…they’re like referees. They don’t score any points, they don’t sweat, they don’t play, they know nothing of the highs and lows of the game. They just run around blowing their whistle, and when they retire no one cares.

Lord, please help us abandon man-centered religious pursuits for the glorious calling of following you and you alone.

Wow. Great illustration. Sad reality in the church.

  I loved this comparison too. It’s so ironic that religion can function as a hindrance to knowing God.
