Worthless Religion

(This is my Disney's The Kid face.  When I watch that movie, I can't help but do this over and over...)
Well, we will be on the road in a couple of days.  The entire month of June, 29:11 is gonna be keepin' the roads hot, which means we will see you face to face soon!  After having a few weeks (kinda) off, which was well-needed, we can't wait to get back out there and share with you all.

We've got some new stuff to add to the services and so forth, so we're pretty pumped about the upcoming visits with you!  Please pray for us that God will give us the right words, and that you can minister to us somehow too.  We all need to be continually growing through Christ, and a big way is by others letting Christ minister through them, which is what we hope you'll do with us and vice versa.

I have a quick passage for you today.  One that I always need to constantly go back to for myself.  It never ever gets old.

My dear brothers, take note of this:  Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does no bring about the righteous life that God desires.  Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.  Do what it says.  Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.  But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does.

If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.  Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:  to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

-James 1:19-27

Our world is pretty polluted.  Use the one true Light that will help you see through the smoke.

In love, Tara K
