RELIGION

Religion is the ligament that binds man to God and man to man 

“Religion” comes from the Latin word religãre which means to bind or tie tightly—it is the root for the word ligament. Anatomically, ligaments are the connective tissue between bones or cartilage. Anthropologically, ligaments are the bonds that unite people.

Thus, religion is the spiritual ligament between both man and God and between the men who worship God. It is the connective tissue formed by our understanding of the divine as spoken prophetically through the people raised up for that purpose. In this way, religion defines our relationship with God in the way that “family” defines our relationship with our wives and children.
