Christianity and religion; over the years these two words have come to mean something totally different than what they were intended. The corruption and misuse of one, has caused us to challenge the integrity of the other. With an ever increasing desire for power, prestige, and monetary gain, the dignity, character, and respect of Christianity has been brought into question. The vainness of man's imagination, along with his new style religion, has polluted, distorted and corrupted the worlds view of a Christian. The religions of today seem to be driven by the desires of the flesh, and is no longer pure and undefiled. If you look hard enough you could find a religion to comfort, and conforms to every attitude, belief, and lifestyle of man's imagination; complete with a doctrine, denomination and a congregation to follow a self proclaimed leader.
We have distorted, altered, and cheapened Gods perfect plan of salvation. In our search for the ideal religion, we have gotten caught up in the treasures and pleasures of this world, and have closed our hearts to Gods revelation, and have opened our minds to man's imagination. But Jesus never changes, what was sin then is still sin now; what he spoke against then, he is still speaking against now. Jesus didn't die to give us the right to sin, he died to save us from sin, and he rose to give us the power to live without sin. Jesus Christ, the same Yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus Christ, Gods spoken word, by which all things made was made, the spoken word by which Abraham believed and it was counted as Righteousness. Jesus Christ, the same today; the written word of God unchanged and uncensored, to rebuke, reprove, to correct and instruct us in righteous that we might be thourghly furnished unto every good work. Written that we might believe on the only begotten of God. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever; The living word of God , yesterday the ram in the bush, today the lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world. Yesterday the way out of the fiery furnace, today the way out of the fires of eternal damnation. Yesterday Noah's ark, today the savior of all who enters his rest. Yesterday manna from heaven today and forever more the bread of heaven, yesterday the love of God , today the love from God to all who will believe...
