Tired of Religion?

Don’t feel guilty, a lot of people are. Religion has left quite a few of us unimpressed. It doesn’t seem relevant; we ‘ve seen hypocrisy in the church- - snubbing the undesirable folks, fighting for positions of influence, and other things that don’t seem very “Christian”. If you’re an honest, thinking person it’s no wonder that you’re a little tired of religion.

But just because religious people have let you down doesn’t mean there is no God. Just because church is irrelevant doesn’t mean God is. You’ll find He is as real and meaningful today as He ever was. He’s not old fashioned; He’s cutting edge! He’s not distant and far away, but as close as a sincere prayer.

Jesus was tired of religion too. He saw all the same things in His day that we see today, and He tried to set it straight. That’s one of the reasons He died on the cross. But the main reason He hung there was to pay for your sins and mine; to open the way for us to really know God: not from the back pew but intimately and personally. God wants you to have a daily relationship with Him, not just practice a little religion from time to time.

And we at St. Paul Believers Fellowship want to help you get to know the God of the Bible. You’ll find our church real, down- to- earth and informative; our pastor has a way of answering the very questions you’re asking in your heart. Dress as you like- - nobody is going to judge you for your clothes. But do make it a point to check us- - and Jesus- -out!
