🔴 Religion Versus Relationship

Contributing Writer: Christina Price

“A Real “G” – is how I often refer to Jesus. Apologies for the slang; I was raised in Brooklyn, New York, which describes someone who remains faithful. Throughout the Gospels, you see this consistent behavior in Jesus. He was never fake, always a straight shooter, and remained focused on his purpose and Father’s will. With that holy audacity, you’re bound to have critics; enter the Pharisees.

In the New Testament, Pharisees were known for strict ritual observances and ceremonies of the written law. They often ascribed to their version of these traditions concerning the law. In Matthew 23, Jesus refers to them as “Blind guides” and “Hypocrites” as there was a massive disconnect between their actions and the intent of God’s law.

Christina was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in a Hindu household.  She accepted Jesus as a teenager after being introduced to Christianity by her mother, who became saved herself just a few years before passing away from cancer. After walking away from her faith for years, Christina recommitted her life to Christ as an adult and is now passionate about the Lord and serving others. She believes sharing her experiences will encourage readers to stretch past the superficial trappings of life, and embrace the sovereignty of God’s purpose in their lives.
