The difference between religion of worth and worthless religion

Outward acts of…piety which do not flow from the new and God-given affections of the heart, which delight to depend on God and seek his glory are only legalism and have no value in honoring God.

~John Piper


What you are when you are alone with God, that you are – and nothing more. You may make a great show of love and faith in church, singing like Pavarotti or attracting the masses to your profound Sunday school lectures. But if there is no private communion between you and Jesus – frequent and deep communion – then your religion is worthless.

~Kirk Lundgaard


A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing, and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.

~Martin Luther


You can have tons of religion without an ounce of salvation.

~ Author unknown
