I believe in God. I imagine a lot of you readers do too. I believe God helped guide my family through the very difficult past two years. Reflecting back on things I see His hand guiding us in certain directions. I'm not posting today about that, perhaps another time. Today I want to you to imagine how Jesus would view religion in our society now.
Imagine (hey, I said in the title that you would be doing this...) that you are a Mother or a Sibling and you are a member of a certain Christian Sect that believes in God and Jesus. As part of your religion you have very strict rules about how you should behave. Your Daughter/Sister also believes in God (the very same God) but worships at a different church that isn't part of your sect. Now that Daughter/Sister gets sick. She's facing something that could be potentially deadly. Because she doesn't worship under your guidelines you can't talk to her. You can't go to her and comfort her during her time of need. All you are allowed to do is go to her and preach about what she is doing wrong by not following your strict beliefs. Because she doesn't come around to your way of thinking and start attending your Meetings you are now not allowed to associate with her at all.
Do you think Jesus would look at you and say, "good job"? Is this really the type of person God wants you to be?
This is a very real scenario and it breaks my heart that it happened.
