Relationship
We are made in the image of God who is the Trinity.
God exists in relationship – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
He is personal. He made us to be personal.
Love your God; love
Your neighbor as yourself
Do you have in uncontrolled anger?
Prov 19:19
Prov 17:14 Strife is like the letting of water.

Relationship W/God
The church has overemphasized obedience and under emphasized friendship.
God wants friends, not slaves.
We must want Him more than what He does.
He is looking for interaction than He is for blind obediance.
Where you find people who love Jesus more than the world, you will discover a place full of joy.
Radical obedience, because it’s a matter of relationship, is always a heart issue.
