For me, the point of God and a relationship is that of 'love' - and that passage in Cornthians really nails it!

This past week I did my training at the hospital with a very loving and kind christian lady who is very much caught up in the church experience (Penecostal). I shared with her some of my beliefs about our "God Connection" and even though it was difficult for her to understand I found that we could be great friends inspite of our differences. Elton Trueblood once said, "If you are yoked to Christ, you are yoked to me whether you like it or not." Well, I believe we are all yoked together through this God Connection so we might as well do our best to get along. I will keep reaching out to every person I meet regardless of where they are on this spiritual pathway. Thanks Bruce and Kevin.

I'm not interested in the church being "left behind." Instead, I hope all people the truth of love. And as you show, love is connection. That helps explain how we can love our neighbor and our enemy. Connect with all people becuase all people are connected with God. In fact, it's not so much abut making a connection. God is that connection. We can simply have ever-deepening awakening to that connection. Many blessings, Kevin BTW, the Thomas Kelly quote is awesome! Cliff,

God is patient God is kind God does not envy God does not boast God is not proud God is not rude Love is not self-seeking God is not easily angered God keeps no record of wrongs God does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth God always protects God always trusts God always hopes God always perseveres God never fails. But, that would be hard to believe if you listen to most of the church/institution/organization/religion businesses out there. All the church really ever did for me was confuse me. But thank God he brought me out of that and drew me into his heart. If God is Love, then…

God is patient
God is kind
God does not envy
God does not boast
God is not proud
God is not rude Love is not self-seeking
God is not easily angered
God keeps no record of wrongs
God does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth
God always protects
God always trusts
God always hopes
God always perseveres
God never fails.

But, that would be hard to believe if you listen to most of the church/institution/organization/religion businesses out there. All the church really ever did for me was confuse me. But thank God he brought me out of that and drew me into his heart.
