Religion Kills

"Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of this world, and not according to Christ." Colossians 2:8

I've seen God move in mighty ways, only to have some religious person say, "That's not God"! Religion kills the Spirit of God. The religious leaders in Jesus' day were so busy maintaining all the rules they didn't have time for a relationship with God.

I watched a video one time; well, I actually watched about 30 seconds of it before turning it off. In the video, a "minister" I'd never heard of was talking trash about a ministry I believe in and support. Nobody does everything right, and that applies to ministries as well. I look at the fruit of a ministry. The ministry that was targeted is responsible for thousands of churches being started around the world, and yet someone decided they weren't right. It is perfectly fine to not agree with different ministries, but it's not okay to openly put them down.

There are two things I do, 1) I don't criticize ministries or ministers, even if I don't agree with them, and 2) I don't listen to criticism from those I don't answer to.
