THE UGANDA MARTYRS MUST have been BORN-AGAIN because there's no
conviction deep enough in any religion that can make you stand against a
king and you choose death over life - only a born-again man can go that
far! They didn't have to make a pilgrimage BUT their FAITH!
----
GUESS WHAT?
I took the journey down memory lane to remember some
history that we studied close to 20 years ago... THE GREAT TREK which
was a movement of the "boers" from British control in the 1830s and
1840s... some of these groups moved for over 650 km! _
_
What
brought back these memories is the sight of many zealous BUT IGNORANT
people who think walking a long distance to Namugongo and other
pilgrimage sites has an attachment to pleasing GOD! It's pathetic that
people can be that lost. We need to preach the Gospel so that people can
understand that all that makes a difference is the risen Christ
dwelling in their lives!
----
People can afford to walk hundreds of kilometres in the name of a "holy
pilgrimage" yet they refuse to do the easiest thing of receiving Jesus
as the Lord and Savior of their lives! That's why I hate religion! It is
such a dangerous bondage.
----
You don't have to go to Mecca or Medina or Namugongo or Israel to attain
any level of holiness or righteousness... you just label that "A LONG
DISTANCE TOUR" because that's what it is anyway! What you need is JESUS
in your HEART in order to be in the right standing with God. Period!
