Sometimes religious folks will dress in fancy clothes, go to church every Sunday and tithe their ten percent; all the while frowning upon those whom they think aren't as "blessed" as they are. Some even tell us that we are not "saved" because we do not belong to their group or denomination. But is this true religion, are they truly reflecting the heart of the Divine Creator? Or are they turning the house of God into a mere club house for the self proclaimed elite? Jesus said, "by their fruits you shall know them." Thus, if the fruit is not love, acceptance, kindness, gentleness and peace... it is probably just a thorn bush with wax fruit on its limbs. It may look flashy at first glance, but upon further inspection we will see that the whole thing is just an illusion.
