CHRISTIANITY WITH AN EDGE-WITH SCOTT E. ROKELY

Tradition is second hand religion. It is what was meaningful to someone else who lived long ago in a much different culture. The problem is, it can become outdated, irrelevant, and yes, BORING. See what Jesus Christ had to say about tradition.

Both Paul and Jesus made some shocking statements about exactly who we are in God's eyes. Find out who you are, and what your status is with God.

This is who you are! Not many Christians believe it, but it's true. Stop trying to be who everyone else wants you to be, and just be who you are.

Religion can be about hiding the real you from others so they will approve of you. Instead, why don't you decide to be the person God made you to be?

You'll be surprised at the one requirement Jesus had for his initial leaders. And this trait is not valued by most of the Christian church.

Religion often implies that God doesn't think much of you. But, Jesus Christ made several amazing statements about you that you need to know about.

In Jesus' day many religious leaders, in his view, did not know God. It's the same today.

God cancelled the law and nailed it to the cross of Jesus. (Col. 2:15) But many in religion don't realize that. God is not into the law, God is into grace.

The Jesus found in the gospels is a lot different than the Jesus often portrayed by some in organized religion. There were super religious people in Jesus' day that thought they were more holy than Jesus was. Imagine that!

It is amazing what Jesus said about some of the most religious people in his society. Find out what is crucial to God.
