Religion or Relationship?

Religion or Relationship? 
            It is one thing to be involved in a religion that believes in and is centered on God, but it is another to have a relationship with God.  It is one thing to say prayers to God, but it is another to commune with God.  It is one thing to believe in God, but it is another to believe God.  Being associated with a religion that recognizes God as one to whom one can say prayers is not the same as having a real relationship with God the father, Son and the Holy Spirit.  
            Second Timothy 3:5 talks of the spiritual condition of “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away”.  Certainly it is possible for a musician to go through all the formalities of worshiping god and at the same time not really believing what god has said in His Word.  So, we are brought directly to the question, are you, as a church musician involved in a religion or a relationship?
