Religion wants us to be obedient followers and never question. I believe God wants us to question and that only through questions can you really find answers. If you want to know more about this listen to tonight’s podcast.

All too often in life we find ourselves and others looking at the wrong thing. By that I mean we look at what grabs our attention or what WE feel we need the most instead of what is really the most important. Tonight I want to cover a record that shows this point and how Christ dealt with it.

How willing are you to give up your freedom for security? Before you answer you might want to consider this quote “In the end, they wanted security more than they wanted freedom. ~Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire)”.
Tonight I want to give a Biblical answer to this question, then you can make up your own mind.

Today I wrote something to my Coaching group that I just had to put in the blog for you all to learn from so here it is:
Beware, because Religion can make people stupid! Now some of my Christian friends might say that’s not nice to say. Nice or not it’s true.
This morning I was reading the letter “from” the editor in a Christian magazine. Had it been a letter “to” the editor, I might not have been so appalled but this was the editor speaking. He was talking about how much our Christian ancestors suffered and how little we suffer today. Then he went on to promote suffering in order to get in touch with our Christian roots and become more spiritual ourselves. Blah, blah, I’ve heard all this before, but then came the stupid part.
He said that for lent he wanted to suffer for 40 days in order to become more spiritual so he decided to give up his diet coke and only drink water. WHAT !!!!!!!! This is now the height of suffering to drink water for 40 days instead of his beloved diet coke? Are we insane? Has he lost his ever-loving mind? I pray to God this magazine isn’t distributed in Africa or Haiti, can you imagine the confusion? By the editor’s logic they would be the most spiritual people on the planet because they have only water and sometimes not even that AND they suffer daily.
I can’t begin to imagine the ego, the stupidity, the “what world are you living in” mindset of someone who thinks that drinking water for 40 days instead of diet coke is first of all any kind of sacrifice at all and then the gall to think that it is going to make you more spiritual, well I’m at a loss for words.
You would think the Editor of the magazine would have stopped this from being printed–BUT WAIT, he is the Editor. Shame, shame, shame.
NOTHING you can do in your flesh is going to make you any more spiritual. Christ accomplished all there was to accomplish in the flesh. All we need to do is accept the Grace of God and move on.
I have to stop now and go calm down. Maybe I’ll go drink a diet coke just to thank God for His grace and mercy, but the truth is I like water better.
Have a great day,
Duke
