The Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:1-5: “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

“I have faith, I just don’t believe in organized religion…”  Wasn’t sure what to think when I heard this for the first time.  A close friend of mine made this statement after listening to a long and lively classroom discussion on religion.  This wouldn’t be the last time I would hear something like this.  Another friend later said, “I go to church, but I’m not a member anywhere… Christianity is about a personal relationship with Jesus, not an affiliation with a specific church…”  Each person had a very different approach to their faith, but they were equally disillusioned toward organized religion by past religious experiences.
