Pure Religion

James chapter 1 verse 27, James says “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to care for the orphans and the widows.” Now I’ve heard more sermons than I can count on other subjects. I’ve never heard one sermon devoted for caring for orphans or widows in all of my time. And yet that’s what James says is “pure and undefiled religion.” I also have this conviction that if the church would stop playing religious games inside religious buildings and go out and care for the people who really need their help, the church would grow exponentially because those are the people that really need God.
