04/24/23 HEADY RELIGION FAILS

Evidences that "heady" religion is not Biblical salvation are that cerebral "Christianity;"

Does not save people from sin and sinning;

Does not impart overcoming faith;

Does no produce perfect love or joy in the midst of sorrow, or peace that passes understanding, or hope where there is no hope,or rejoicing in the midst of trial or conformity to the image of Jesus or holiness of heart and life.

Those folk often have a zeal for human wisdom and religion, but their excitement about Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the word of God, Christ likeness, victorious living, total commitment is usually lagging. In fact, I have had people with heady religion come to me and ask questions about my beliefs; and though they can't argue against the Biblical witness, they are so bound to heady religion that they hold steadfastly to their joyless, unsatisfying beliefs.

This is especially interesting since heady religion claims that my doctrines are legalistic and create fear, sorrow and angst. But the reality is, those who have believed and have entered into full salvation have joy unspeakable and full of glory and they have a confidence in God and His word which carries them through the darkest moments and heaviest trials.

It is time to trade in your heady religion for heart changing, Spirit empowering, triumphant salvation.
