Religion is dangerous business. It’s easy to see in the life of the scribes and pharisees – people put’n on, but difficult to see in ourselves. Even James & John got caught up in their church experience and left Jesus behind. Oh, I don’t mean literally, I just mean in spirit.

When the local Golden Corral wouldn’t serve them they asked Jesus if a little Old Testament judgement wasn’t in order. They wanted more to be on fire than just the char-broilers in meat department. (See Luke 9) The response of the Master challenged their misconceptions about God. Perhaps our’s need challenged too.
