Christians Challenged to Lose their Religion

Last week, The Christian Post highlighted the current teaching series at West Ridge Church. The article talked about the challenge that Brian is sharing with Christians that they need to “lose their religion” and totally commit their lives to God.

While the phrase “total commitment” may conjure up an image of a serious Christian who doesn’t have fun and is “robbed” of everything that’s out in the world, Bloye encouraged his congregation to look at it a different way.

Total commitment is the “smartest, most reasonable thing you can do in light of what God has done for us,” he said. Total commitment is “a channel through which God’s best and biggest blessings flow.”

And the motivation is the mercy of God, His grace and love, and gratitude, rather than fear.

“God doesn’t want your church attendance, your money, your Bible time, … your religious list,” he said. “What He wants is you. That’s all God wants from you.”
