“Pure Religion”

What is that? I love what the Book of James says. It doesn’t say that pure religion is going to church or giving to the offering. It’s not cleaning the church, although God blesses those that keep His house clean. Pure religion goes beyond everything we do that is religious. James said, “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:27) James said, “It’s blessing the poor.” If you want to get a “real blessing,” find someone poor, sad, or depressed and walk up to them and say, “I just want you to know that God loves you so much and He is there to help you.” You may even feel led of the Lord to give them some money! Can you imagine how that person would feel to know that a complete stranger loves them? Each day, be ready for the Lord to use your life!!
