Playing Religion?

Playing Religion?

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of

 wisdom but fools despise it

Prov. 1:7

I am very conscious of the fact that among Daily Energiser readers are people of diverse faiths.  They may love the messages but if they could they would have asked me to quote less from the Bible and just make my statements and leave.   

I tried to do this at the inception of Daily Energiser.  However at a stage, I realised that  my writings are vastly influenced by what God has said on any topic. So I decided to acknowledge the Owner of the inspirations as well as His words which I think is what we do even in our secular intellectual property community.

However, this is not to say I am concerned only with my fellow Christians.  Far from it!.  My thinking is that those who are seeking after WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING based on the truth do not play religion.  Playing religion does not save anybody.  Rather, it breeds discrimination and vain arguments.  But the truth that one knows sets one free! 

Let’s be frank to ourselves.  It does not matter which religion one belongs, the fact remains that what God says concerning all issues of life has universal application to us all e.g. Prov. 6:32 says: “But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself.” This statement is a universal truth for all men as it does not matter which religion they belong.  Also the verse quoted on top of this document on the fear of the Lord is relevant to all.  Likewise God’s statement concerning the danger in engaging in alcoholism!  Therefore to apply play religion and reject these statements is to lose treasures that would have enhanced one’s life as a Wisdom and Knowledge seeker.

Even when I introduce readers to Jesus Christ in my write up, I do it for the sole purpose of love, not religion.  I am offering to them a product I have tasted, tested and found to be an effective antidote to the cure illnesses that may be plaguing them whether in their health, career, marriage, parenting, retirement and of course the only antidote against the fear of death even in old age and a guarantee for living an everlasting life after this world.  If I love my friends, I could not have come across such potent ‘drug’ and keep it to myself!  If not for Christ, who would have made my life which was pre-programmed to fail by Satan to succeed the way it is doing and who would have given me the heart of self-less service to fellow human beings?

I therefore humbly implore all readers of Daily Energiser world-wide, irrespective of their religious biases, never to play religion for the “Fear of the Lord” is of universal application as only those who fear the Lord can do what is right and just to their fellow men.  Good morning.
