Everyone is so concerned with religion these days. We judge others for what their religious “views” are or aren’t. We try to make it so complicated when it is so very simple. It’s right in front of you in black and white. James 1:27 says “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this, to visit orphans and windows in their afflictions, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
We, as christians, are called to love, just as Jesus did. Since when did Jesus start looking down on people that are on the wrong road. We are called to help them. To love them. That’s all.
Bethany Dillon’s song “You Are On Our Side” was inspired by James 1:27 and really shows us how to truly love all people.

I’ve been thinking about this latley. Great words Melissa. This is something that I do need to keep in mind.
such a great song. nicely said, barnett. love is what many christians lack. we get so caught up in rules and religion that we forget about love. but we need to remember that above love, there is no law. now that’s something you can count on.
