Pure and Undefiled Religion

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:27)  When men take more pains to seem religious than really to be so, it is a sign their religion is in vain.

For as much as you have done unto the least of them also have you done unto the Lord your God. Let the work of the Lord be your religion if you must claim one.  Myself I clam a relationship with my Father, for if I'm his son and he my father then I need to be able to communicate with him about anything at anytime.
