4 Indicators You’re Religious but May not Know Jesus. 

  1. You get furious when life doesn't go as planned (:28)  
  2. Your obedience is mechanical and joyless. (:29)  
  3. You feel superior to people who sin differently than you. (:30) 
  4. You have no assurance of the father’s love. (:29)  

 

2 Challenges to Older Brothers 

  • You need a new kind of repentance.
