Religion or Relationship


Choose Relationship
The choice is yours: You can either practice religion, striving to keep rules and regulations, or you can enjoy relationship, experiencing intimacy with God. The God of all creation wants to be your friend—to talk to you about everything, to share your secrets, your joys and your tears. I encourage you to seek Him for a personal revelation of His love so you can relax and enjoy a free and intimate relationship with Him— starting today!
the Bible says that there is no one righteous, not even one.(1) God knew that you and I were not capable of being good apart from Him. That’s why He sent Jesus—so we could become the righteousness of God in Christ.(2)

The truth is, we need God’s grace to be good, because being good is not just about our behavior or following certain rules…it’s also about our motives. If we are in close fellowship with God, the natural result will be that we are motivated and empowered by our relationship with Him to do the things that He would like us to do.
