This was a recent headline I saw in an article, it left a pit in the bottom of my stomach as I read it. NO, it was not because I was warmed or comforted by it but because the verbiage smacks of that "cultural Christianity" I was raised with that left me flat.
It is not "religious services" that this country needs it is Christ. We have "religion" going on all the time in every denomination and cult. It is Christ we need not religion.
The phrase used by the governor shows the lack of understanding that a relationship with Christ defies "religion."
Mark 7:13 "13Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.” "
Many "Christians" in our culture will see a headline like the one above and think it sounds so good when really it ignores and negates God. For cultural Christianity "religion" is what we need, Christ is not very important as long as you seek some kind of god.
It matters whether or not we use the name of Jesus Christ. To be embarrassed about Him is the same as denying Him.
Matthew 10:33
"33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven."
A lot of people will be fooled and wowed by verbiage such as the headline above. Superficial language without the name of Christ is going to give people false hope in the verbiage alone instead of in Christ.
