well there's been some very good and interesting input in on this one over the timeframe of this thread...

The answer has ranged from many different variations and very lengthy also.... but it is really very simple as God wants everyone's life to be if/when you trust in him....

God is not a Religion... God Is a RELATIONSHIP!!!!

and I will add it is a better relationship then anyone could have with their Favorite Pet in the whole wide world ;0) Try it sometime... but when you ask him a question/ listen and watch for the answer!!!!

A true relationship with GOD comes from the heart and being able to FEEL GOD'S presence in your life. Much like he wants us to get married and be faitful to our spouse, he wants us to have that relationship with HIM! Personal and intimate.

Religion, on the other side, is merely an expression of how you choose to practice your faith.

Most preachers, want us to see GOD'S presence in our lives. They don't want you to feel his presence.

Live by his word and his truth. He speaks to and seeks out those who seek him!

"Where you lead me, I will follow, where you lead me I give my life away, where you lead me,I will follow, forever and a day!" Mercy me.

to usahog......faith is knowing that GOD will move in many ways in your life, not.....if he will. That's the enemy's work! Keep the battle going.

Earth is the only hell a Christian will ever know.

Earth is also the only heaven a sinner will ever know!
