Eastwood Church of Christ

All my “Christian” life I have heard preachers and others talk about “feel good religion. ” It is described as a religion of shallow faith. The Bible certainly declares that we are to live by faith. 2 Corinthians 5:7

Living by faith is a life of allowing our trust in Jesus Christ as God’s unique Son to lead us and guide us into faithful service to the Master. We understand that it is through this faith that we please God. Hebrews 11:6

There is another way to look at “feel good religion.” We, as God’s children, should feel good about our walk with Him.

It is not “feel good religion” that hampers members of the churches of Christ today. Hopefully we do feel good about our zealous living for God through the person of Jesus Christ.

Our problem honestly speaking is “not feeling good religion.”

I don’t feel good this morning. I don’t think I’ll go to worship. Then, too often, the whole family stays home from meeting with the church or fellowshipping with the church. Yes, and even helping with the work of the church

I had to work late or work hard or I just don’t feel good or I got up to late and excuse after excuse leads us to having a faithless faith.

I wish we had a “feel good religion.” Regardless of how we feel we are excited to worship and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Hell or high water can’t stop one who walks by faith. Not feeling good is an excuse that comes from the bowels of hell.
