Religion over Relationship? Feeling a disconnect between your outward religious activities and spiritual life? Many Christians are unaware they can be oppressed by a spirit of religion! Spirit of religion is characterized by outward righteousness – attending church and performing religious duties – without the corresponding inner transformation of the heart and mind.
It's a counterfeit faith, a spiritual facade that leaves you feeling empty despite your outward efforts. It's a subtle shift away from a heart-centered, intimate relationship with Jesus towards a performance-based faith. If so, you might be wrestling with the insidious spirit of religion. Join Melia and explore three subtle yet powerful influences of the spirit of religion and break free from its stronghold grip today!
