This split-sermon discusses what false religion is, its negative effects for Christians, and two primary aspects of it that we should avoid at all costs. It's important that we truly understand that only God's way of life embraces the truth and true worship of God.

Given by Mark Whynaucht
August 5, 2023

God has done, is doing, and has promised to do far more for all of us than what would just be fair. We deserve nothing. He's promised to see to it that we will have everything, so we can be very thankful that our wonderful Father in heaven is so far beyond fair.

Balance (harmony) with God's thinking and Way of life are the only way to eternal life -- that's because God's way is the only way worth living forever.
