Good morning, Pastor John.
I keep thinking back to the reading of the last chapter of Montanus. Something you said summed it all up for me, felt so good, and is as simple as it gets. I am not phrasing it just as you did, but it was something like, the only true religion is what existed before the world began between the Father and His Son. They were daily laughing in each others’ presence, sharing the holy Spirit. We now have that spirit, too. What they had (have) together is the only religion that is true, the only one you need. It takes out the fluff, the disagreements. It’s just pure and simple. I love that.

Amen, Anna!
Those who are living in the Spirit are in the oldest religion that exists, and the only eternally true one. I am very happy and thankful to know that and to be satisfied with it, adding none of the religious trappings that men have invented. “If the Son of man makes you free, you are free indeed!”
