It's Not About Relationship, It's About Religion

Before I became a Catholic, I spent a lot of time in #Evangelical churches trying to find my fit and a popular platitude in those circles, at the time – and possibly still is, was, it’s not about #religion, it’s about #relationship.
The takeaway being that religion, with its duties, practices, and disciplines is a negative distraction and that all you really need is a relationship with #Jesus.
And It’s cathartic for me to say, all these years later, that this is really, really, badly, wrong. It’s illogical and it’s #unbiblical.
Because this term “relationship” is a really nebulous and empty term. It just means that two or more things interact with one another, usually by proximity to each other. So, the sea has a relationship with the seashore. A tree has a relationship with the air. I have a relationship with my wife, but I also have a relationship with carpenter ants in the wall of my house.
Everyone has a relationship with #God by virtue of the fact that he is the source of our being. We are derived from his being. He sustains us and allows us to be. Even the #devil has a relationship with God.
There’s nothing special or notable about that. The key is that we ought to have the right kind of relationship with God and this is determined by HOW we interact with God – because there’s a right way and a wrong way.
