A Daily Religion “If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:26-27)

A Daily Religion Religious – “A worshiper of God, privately and publicly …. One who knows the secret things of the law and diligently observes them” (Bengel, Vol. 2, p. 702). One claiming to be a “religious” person will be active on a day-to-day basis!

A Daily Religion “If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:26-27)

A Daily Religion Realize That What The Bible Says Applies To Me!  If I am unable or unwilling to apply what I have learned to myself, how could the Bible be “relevant” to me?  A “daily religion” demands that I apply the Bible’s teachings to myself!

A Daily Religion Realize That What The Bible Says Applies To Me! The essence of New Testament teaching is speaking so that people understand the application! Acts 2:36-38, 5:30-33, 17:4, 12, 34; II Corinthians 3:12

A Daily Religion Practice What I Learn Religion will never be a “daily” thing unless I am willing to practice it daily! Matthew 7:21 Matthew 7:21 Matthew 7:24-27 Matthew 7:24-27 James 1:25 James 1:25

A Daily Religion Ask God For Forgiveness When I Slip One of the greatest problems facing us today is pride. Folks won’t admit they have sinned!! I John 2:1, 1:9 Acts 8:22

A Daily Religion Walking By Faith Hebrews 11:1; Romans 10:17 Walk by faith and not by sight (II Cor. 5:7)! Our course, or manner of life must be motivated by faith! Walking by faith means GROWING in faith!

“What Must I Do To Be Saved?” Hear The Gospel (Rom. 10:17) Believe In Christ (Jn. 8:24) Repent Of Sins (Lk.13:3) Confess Christ (Rom. 10:10) Be Baptized (I Pet. 3:21) For The Erring Child: Repent (Acts 8:22), Confess (I Jn. 1:9), Pray (Acts 8:22)
