People do it. (Why the religiousness...?)

People do it.
People keep the hungry, hungry and poor, poor.
People do it.
People put clothes on the naked.
People give family love to those without biological fathers.
People give family love to those in prison.
People do it.
People created the atmosphere in Abu Gharib.
People did the atrocities during the Munich world cup.
People answered the call of crisis and created Doctors without Borders.
People do it.
The Bible is powerful because it is an avenue to and a way of seeing God.
God moves people do things. God is the inspiration for a lot of people to do what needs doing. God is the conviction that keeps people doing what needs doing.
So you ask me, what is the place of religion in the modern world? What is the place of God?
The place of religion is to provide people with structure therefore unity in action in worshipping. God belongs at the top, center, bottom of this modern world. He gives people life, purpose, and destiny.
We as people need to accept our purpose, our destiny from God.
We’ve already accepted His life.
Without him we are just taking up air.
