“Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?” (‭Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭8-9‬ ESV)

All,

This sticks out because of the slavery to the law. You may be able to say that “religion” is the new word for “the law” in Paul’s terms. I have a lot of friends that are very turned off by religion, but are ok with Jesus. I tell them I agree. I hope they desire to learn more about Jesus and build a relationship with Him. He sets us free. Please pray that we and our friends seek a relationship with Jesus and not a bunch of rules. Please pray for T.C. and Bradley’s group as there first meeting was today.
