Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Anyone who…does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God…”
(2 John 1:9)

That explains a lot, Jesus!

I often wonder how in the world someone who

attended church
served in ministries
donated to causes
seemed to be a Christian brother or sister

could suddenly abandon everything they supposedly stood for.

Now I know:

They had religion
but they didn’t have You.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“He is the one we proclaim…”
(Colossians 1:28)

Not ourselves, Jesus.

Not our accomplishments.
Not our good deeds.
Not our churches.
Not our wisdom.
Not religion.

You, Jesus.

You.

It is Your Name I proclaim!

Why?

Because Salvation is found in no one else!

There’s no other name under heaven given to mankind
by which we must be saved.

You’re Wonderful Counselor

Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince of Peace.

Of the greatness of Your government and peace there will be no end.

Take stock, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
(James 1:27)

Well that clears up a few things, Jesus!

Our list of religious behaviors is longer.

Perhaps because it’s easier to help widows and orphans

than to keep myself unpolluted by the world.

Am I adding to the list

in an attempt to mask my worldly pollution?

Pray this Lazaroo with sobered clarity:

“…his religion is worthless.”
(James 1:26)

What a blow that would be, Jesus!

To spend a lifetime thinking my religion is doing me good
that You’re pleased enough with me to take me to heaven

then find out that I’ve wasted my time and energy
that all my religious behavior and cherished beliefs

were dead wrong.

Which is why I’m not depending on my ideas, traditions and customs.

My only hope – and I know it to the bone –

is You.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“If anyone considers himself religious…”
(James 1:26)

Is that a good thing, Jesus –

to consider myself religious?

Maybe it’s better for others to make that judgment

instead of me.

There are so many things done in the name of religion that are detestable to You

and me.

Sometimes it seems like those who most think of themselves as religious

are the least Godly of all.

Rather than be religious

I think I’d simply prefer to be pleasing to You.
