James 1:26-27 KJV
[26] If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
[27] Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
("Religious" and "religion" are used in the NKJV, ESV, NIV and NLT versions, as well.)
People seem to go out of their way these days to claim they are not religious. As though it were bad to be religious.
Being religious is considered a good thing in the Bible.
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, "religious" means,
having a strong belief in a god or gods:
...living and worshiping according to the beliefs of a particular religion:
(according to Christianity, for example.)
So, are you religious or not?
