Dear friend,
Religion?
I don't really understand this thing. Is it a tool of government to control the masses, make them subservient? Is it cultural, is it a belief system, is it a hoax, is it an organized society? Is it hope? Is it the root cause of racism and other wars? Religion is divisive, but, so is Faith. I have a belief system but it's not organized according to the traditions of men, neither is it obscure and multifaceted in dogma. My faith takes me out of the world engine even though I'm still physically here. I don't look to man or higher powers but The Highest Power; this tells me how utterly hopeless my flesh is, and how the works of my flesh are mere vanity, gone with the wind. My faith does not glory in man's achievements at all. I practice my faith. It makes me humble, a bit simple in appearance, original, devoid of contraptions devised by those practicing religion and those totally against my faith. My faith, what is it? God The Father. God The Son. God The Holy Spirit and, is this not religion? Religion stays ensconced in a building with expensive people and expensive habits, everyone being hypnotized to follow the leader. My faith, most of the time, is on the streets, everyday, with the needy and weak, with the depressed, trying to show compassion and trying to shine the light of God's Word. No jets. No TV shows. No hotels. Just my street. My community. People with problems at home. Real challenges. Real Risks. No bodyguards with guns to protect me, just prayers, just my faith. The just, shall live, by faith.
