The realness of God is what makes people different. Introduce God as a person, not a religion. Be Holy Spirit filled and bring all life’s areas into His presence and care.
Religion is quite capable of trying to get somebody else out of your way in order to get what you want. That’s religion, by itself, aided by fallen human nature.
When you make God Lord of your life, you will get direction from Him. Don’t let religion become routine. Always find time to be alone with God and to pray. Acknowledge His Lordship and you’ll begin to understand what He wants of you.
