“No one finds God in mere pious thoughts or religion, either. That is, we will not find God in the mere performance of religious duties, whether the fourfold or sevenfold path to Nirvana, a life of meditation, the “religion” of drugs, or even the ceremonial aspects of Christianity. God has written no overall human efforts to be religious in order that He might write a yes over all who abandon religion and turn to Him in Christ. Religion is your seeking after a god in your own image. Christianity is God’s seeking you and moving to redeem you by the death of His Son.”
