Religion vs. Relationship

The word faith is not

Interchangeable

With the world religion;

They are two completely

Different concepts.



Faith in God is

A relationship,

Daily communion

With the Lord, not

A weekly ceremony.



Faith is not a ritual,

It is not a method

Of pleasing man

By partaking in

Man-made customs.

I agree with what you say here and it also does not mean making an appearance for show and tell in a mad-made bldg because others expect it. It's the most personal communication and does not have to be verbalized out loud..
