Religion increases two things.  Religion increases regulation, and religion increases a spirit of criticism and judgement.  In Luke Chapter 6 Jesus shows us the better way. We don’t work in order to rest, but rather it is out of a true rest that we go forward in work.  It is out of a true rest in the finished work of Christ, that we’re free to go forth and live and love and bless without being measured.  And we do these things not out of compulsion, but because we’ve come to understand the love of Christ shed abroad in our hearts.  Why does it feel so awesome to be a blessing to others?  Well because that’s the way He made us.  Get your Word on with us and grow into the Truth!
