WORD FOR TODAY RELIGION VERSUS KINGDOM The power of religion lies in its ability to serve as a substitute for the Kingdom and thus hinder mankind from pursuing the genuine answer to his dilemma. My study of the nature of religion and how it impacts the process of man’s search for the Kingdom uncovered several significant truths: Religion preoccupies man until he finds the Kingdom Religion is what man does until he finds the Kingdom. Religion prepares man to leave earth; the Kingdom empow- ers man to dominate earth. Religion focuses on Heaven; the Kingdom focuses on earth. Religion is reaching up to God; the Kingdom is God coming down to man. Religion wants to escape earth; the Kingdom impacts, influ- ences and changes earth. Religion seeks to take earth to Heaven; the Kingdom seeks to bring Heaven to earth. scripture reference are (Matthew 23:13,15.Matthew 15:1-3.Matthew 5:20 Matthew 21:31b It seems clear from these words that religion is one of the great- est obstacles to the Kingdom. Perhaps this may be cause for us all to take another look at the power of religion over our lives, culture, and society.
