GOOD MORNING
REV BOB PEDEN
Are you a religious person? Do you obediently get out of bed each Sunday morning and head off to your local church? Do you follow all the rules because even if no one else is looking you know God is watching your every move and there will be a price to pay someday, if you mess up? Do you read your Bible everyday and a devotion and then read the prayer, because that’s what good people are supposed to do? Are you a religious person? Then I am sorry. For you are missing the real joy that comes from being a companion of Jesus Christ.
Worship, obedience, study, prayer come not from duty but because you love, honor, want to talk to, and hear from the one who created you - and the entire universe.
This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church. I am learning that the joy of being Christ’s companion is as far from the drudgery of religious guilt and duty as the east is from the west.
