Religion is not True Goodness

If you watch the offering from the local religious university, you quickly understand how little of the Holy Spirit that place has to offer.

They set up guides before the people who are full of “rules”, but have little or no relationship with the Holy Spirit. (They are paid adequetly) I'm sure they have all mouthed some confession of Christ but if they are not "Holy Spirit", they carry, no deliverance. Without the Holy Spirit all we do is propagate religion, not Faith.

That is what has happened to Marion. The goodness of the Spirit, is gone. Everyone takes care of themselves, focuses on themselves, and this at the expense of all others. I remember a Marion that was a good place to live. I'm 55 years old. I remember vital Christianity where people genuinely cared for one another. It is gone.

For the most part, goodness has been replaced with religious program. Goodness has been replaced with what I call a religious substitute. It is akin putting a substitute ingredient in a food, that is cheaper and not fully the same substance or quality as what it replaced.

In religion, the programmed substitute for Spirit truth, is usually manned with guilt motivated people trying to please God by performance. All performance-based church work is religion. But it often pays. Look at the advancement of IWU.

Oh some people still occasionally help others, but often only for the praise of those they try to please. This is usually some political or civic group, or a Church Group, or Yes IWU.

The clearest representation of Spiritual Babylon is when men do things to make a name for themselves, amoung men. What happened to not letting your right hand know what your left was doing?

IWU and our City Government stands head and shoulders above all others in this city in making temselves famous. (not that there are many who love Jah in Marion anyway) They’ve built a tower to their accomplishments, and found some Eunuchs to bow down, bewitched by their proud delusion.

Mat 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

No one is ever filled with Jah's goodness without first hungering for Jah, and then being filled. You don't get that in program!

Psa 107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
