The religious system: a baffling, befuddled, faulted and failing attempt to turn the beauty of faith into a well-funded organization.
It contains two erroneous, if not evil, ideas:
1. Material that was written four thousand years ago doesn’t require any updating in the Spirit whatsoever.
2. The Spirit of God and the lives of believers can be capsulized into a corporate worship experience.
It is restrictive.
It is selfish.
It denies individuality in favor of blind compliance.
It turns Jesus into the sacrificial lamb instead of extolling his true measure as a Good Shepherd.
It wants its children to become advocates for printed material which comes out of old-fashioned boardrooms, ushered forth by spiritually vacant suits.
They envision their young children having a conversation similar to this:
Yet truthfully, children were never meant to contemplate the actions of impotent, aged patriarchs. They were intended to have life and it more abundantly. So actually, Sunday morning in America more resembles the following:
Although it would be impossible to limit the message of Jesus of Nazareth to one strain of thought or one stream of consciousness, it is undoubtedly true that he was the champion of children and the Great Equalizer when it came to women.
Because his message was visual and filled with stories, the children flocked to him. And because he refused to teach a Gospel that was just for men, the ladies came his way, bringing their money to support his work. That’s what it says in the gospel of Luke.
How will we know that we’ve escaped the religious system and have begun to be a household of faith once again?
When the children eagerly gather and the women are given their full rights as human beings.
