Keeping it Real: James 1:26-27

Is your faith the real thing? The genuineness of your ‘religion’ is verifiable. One of the challenges we face as followers of Jesus is genuineness – keeping and living out our faith in an authentic way. One of the greatest challenges we have as a community of believers is to help each other stay on the course of genuine, Bible obeying, Christ focused spirituality. For both you as an individual and us as a church, the greater danger is not apostasy – adopting false teaching but accepting an artificial spirituality – doing Christianity in a way that seems acceptable or even impressive but is not the real thing.
