Biblical Talks Encouraging Word for the Week, with Rachel Tolliver, You Can Be in Church And Still Miss Christ

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Biblical Talks Encouraging Word for the Week, I am Rachel Tolliver, You can be religious and still be lost. You can clap your hands, sing the songs, shout in the sanctuary—and still not know the Savior. You can love the rhythm of the choir, the eloquence of the preacher, the beauty of the liturgy—and still have no relationship with the One it’s all about.You can enjoy the thing—the preaching, the praying, the praising—and still miss the Person. You can be in the building and not be in the Body. You can be around the Word and still not be rooted in the Word.And beloved, there is nothing more tragic than that. Nothing more terrifying than to be religious but not redeemed. To be churched but not changed. To be familiar with the form but void of the fire. So hear me today: Let’s be godly—not just religious.Let’s hunger for holiness. Let’s thirst for righteousness. Let’s seek His face, not just His favor. Let’s pursue the presence, not just the performance.Because God is not impressed by our rituals—He’s looking for relationship. He’s not moved by our routines—He’s calling for repentance.“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits…” (Psalm 103)And the greatest benefit is not the blessing—it’s the Beloved. Not the gift—but the Giver. Not the religion—but the Redeemer.For more encouraging, words please go to biblicaltalks.com or listen to biblical talks podcast on your favorite media app  Support the showHave a blessed day, and thanks for listening!
