Religion is a strange thing at times. It can bring so much love, freedom and peace. However, in the wrong hands it also has the power to be very destructive. It is our responsibility to use our Faith in a godly way and not to use it for our own power.
“When people get their hands on religion, one of the first things they often do is turn it into an instrument for controlling others, either putting or keeping them ‘in their place’.” - Eugene Peterson
May God's grace and peace be upon you.
