Recently I was reading an article "Is Your Religion Enough?" The author writes:
There is plenty of religion and the assortment is nearly unlimited so take your pick. But wait a minute, what is religion all about anyway?
The business of religion can be very confusing unless we can sort out the real issues. What are the issues? The greatest issue is sin.
He later writes
Is your religion providing the power for you to be able to overcome temptation? Does your religion enable you to live a pure life in an immoral society? Has your religion separated you from your former evil habits, friends, and the world? Do you call that sin which the Bible calls sin? Has your religion brought you into obedience to the Bible?
The author suggests that if our answers to those questions are not an honest "Yes" is our religion enough.
Considering some recent events at PF it appears our newer members were not separating themselves from their old friends or their old habits.
Yesterday while passing the communion trays I was underwhelmed by the clothing of many of the girls in that ministry trip group. Their shorts were extremely short at least while they were sitting. Considering the amount of cleavage and legs on display during the service on the usual Sunday I wonder if Paul would have warned them they are walking too close to the line. Or do you suppose he would have waited until they were pregnant and told them they should have been more careful.
Thanks, John Jenkins
