Religion captivates the minds of people and holds them prisoners all the days of their lives.
In religion, there is nothing new:
that which was said yesterday
is said today,
and that which is said today
will be said tomorrow.
The menu never changes from generation to generation.
The gods and goddesses of religion can do nothing for people, for they are dead. A statue is a statue, an image is an image, and a rock is still a rock.
Adults in religion are the same as little children, and the adults of religion teach their children to be like them.
For the religion of adults can do no more for them than it did for them when they were children; and their religion will do no more for their children than it is does for them. The menu never changes from generation to generation.
What is there to live for and what is there to gain?
People of religion are taught to believe lies and then they will live those lies as if they are truth.
People of religion are not to think for themselves, for they have submitted themselves to their religious ministers and priests who do their thinking for them.
People of religion are taught to obey, not to think. And thus religious adults remain the same as obedient children to the fathers of their religion all the days of their lives.
A religion today is the same as it was on the day that it was created by men, and the menu never changes from generation to generation.
When Christ came from heaven to earth, He brought the love of God with Him, and then He deposited His love in the hearts of the people who believed in Him. The love of God has therefore been present upon the earth for more than two thousand years, in the hearts of people who have come to trust in Him, over the course of this length of time. This love is available now to people who will trust in Him.
The love of God is new to people, it is exciting, and it is refreshing. And because of this love of God, the Lord has something new and refreshing for us every day that we live. This love is not because of us and the things we do, but rather it is because of Him and because of what He does; for without Him, we would not have the love of God.
Neither would we have the knowledge of God, which is available to us through Christ the Lord.

The Word of God is the Lord's love song to us. Read it, then sing about it. And the Lord will be thrilled to hear your voice!
