“Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me.”
-Matthew 11:29
“No one has authority over your walk with Christ.”
Pastor Alan of Townsend Church put words to the uneasy feeling I have had in my heart over religious exemptions. It is disgusting when a business, government, or organization assumes the authority to judge the worthiness of an individual’s religious beliefs.
My walk is with Christ, not my employer. Whether that drives me to live a natural (imperfectly), fit (imperfectly), or righteous (imperfectly) life is of no concern to anyone else.
I choose to live my life for Christ, not earthly authorities. That is the only declaration one needs to free him or herself from forced medical procedures or compelled speech.
