More Than A Religion

Alright so you may have already seen this as it has been quite popular on facebook but there was no way I would risk the chance that you hadn't. This guy wrote the poem in the video. Its an amazing work of art. Watch the video before you continue reading.

He spoke more truth than many of us would like to admit. Often we lock ourselves into a specific way of living and call it a Christian lifestyle but really all it is only a religion that holds on to us with rules and stipulations. Things have to be done a certain way (he uses the example voting republic). Its because the family has always been (blank). I have always done (blank) with (blank) because of (blank) and it makes me a Christian. Sorry folks there is only one thing that makes you a Christian and that is following the example of Christ. That's where the name came from. Acts tells us that the followers of Jesus were first called Christians in Antioch. Catch that they were called the followers of Jesus.

No matter what we call ourselves my prayer is that you'll stop and think about your decisions. Are you doing this because you feel you need to or because its what Jesus would do?

God Bless and may you find something more than a religion
