Christ in me....

“Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1: 27). The word “glory” means “lightified.” From this, we can deduce that Christ in you is the hope of being “lit,” or the hope of being “sounded.” Christ is your hope of producing the sound that has resided in you since the beginning of time. Your sole purpose of existence as a worshiper of God is to be the personal instrument He created you to be, and played for His glory. With the very truth of the living Christ is the assurance you will be played before God."

Relationship not Religion

From Mel Wild

Why Religion Won't Bring us Joy

"Religion is about putting our trust in our performance; following Christ is about putting our trust in His performance.

Religion is about following rituals; following Christ is about relationship.

Religion is about appeasement; following Christ is about believing Him instead.

Religion is about compliance; following Christ is about transformation.

Religion focuses on who we’re not; following Christ is about who we are in the “I am.”

Religion is restrictive; following Christ brings real freedom.

Religion uses shame and guilt to control; following Christ is compelled by love.

Religion envisions a distant, separated, conditionally loving, and demanding god; following Christ is encountering an intimate and unconditionally loving God."
