     | 2,370 views

    It is interesting to note that in John 21 two different kinds of love are being presented. The first two times Jesus says “Lovest thou me more than these,” He is using the Greek word agape for love; the third time He uses the Greek word phileo. But does it matter?

    This message contrasts religion and relationship, showing that religion is not to be desired. However, a relationship with Jesus is to be highly treasured. Why? Religion brings about death, but relationship brings about life.

    Whenever you hear of the word “religion,” what comes to mind? Perhaps attending a church service, someone worshipping a Buddha statue, a baptismal service, someone reciting a chant or prayer, someone fasting, people praying to the east every hour, someone making an animal sacrifice, or someone ...read more

    Faith can appear to look foolish, and foolishness can appear to look like faith. It is what God has to say about the situation that determines if it is faith or foolish. So, I better be listening to God.
