04 Jeremiah 7:1-15 What is wrong with religion?

October 12, 2016

Religion should make a difference in our lives. By "religion," I mean the set of outward behavior, practices, ethics and rituals that we do or avoid doing to mark ourselves as believers. Believing in God means we ought to love and value what God loves and values, and therefore we ought not to be nicer to each other. Yet, religion doesn't seem to solve all the problems we think it ought to solve. What is wrong with religion? Why doesn't it make more difference?
