I recently saw this on facebook, "DONT MAKE FRIENDS WITH GODS ENEMIES". What does this mean? Is this person saying I cannot have friends in a different religion? Is this what Jesus taught us to do?
There is a song by an amazing artist named Todd Agnew, check it out.
So which Jesus do you serve? A Jesus who ignores people of different religions? How are we to reach people of a different religion? Why are we so concerned about making converts? Where has the love gone?
What is God? God is many things. But one important thing to remember is God IS LOVE! Faith, Hope, and Love but what is the greatest? LOVE! If you want to show your beliefs and you want to show people your God, show them LOVE!!!

Hey people’s! Well what is love? I’m gonna scribble down my feelings right now. But please if you have an answer to this question please send me a comment, for me and others who have the same question…
This question popped up when I was surfing the local radio stations. The Song What Is Love by Haddaway came through the speakers…
What is it about this four letter word that has people in confusion, in pain, in frustration, ect. LOVE is very complicated subject, why? Cause the English Language sucks! Lol sorry to my English friends, no hard feelings. But English is probably the only language that someone can say… “I love my wife” then say “I love Tacos” What!? How can one word describe both feelings. Certainly someone can’t love their wife the same as they love something that might might just give them heartburn… (Lol, actually a relationship might give you a different kind of heartburn, just a random thought.)
When it comes to Love… the bible says God is love… So I’m gonna attempt to explain 3 different kinds of Love you find in Hebrew, in the Book of “Song of Songs.”
First love we find is Raya. Raya is the love you feel for a companion, a close friend. Someone you can tell anything to. Someone you know how will come to your defense and to be the shoulder to cry on. The listening ear when your lost or confused. This is the type of Love Jonathan and David had for each other in the bible.
Second love we find is Ahava. This love is more then just friends. Its the type of love you feel when you “falling in love.” Your thoughts are bent toward this one person. You just want to be with this person. Its the kind of love that makes you want to talk on the phone for hours, then once you hang up you just want to call them up again. This can also be the dating love, we find in now and days.
Third, and last love we find is Dod. This is the sexual intimacy love. The passion and the heat between a man and his wife. This love is attraction the physical aspect of Love. This is the love we refer to as “Love making.” One thing important to mention this is not just sex. This is deeper, this is the sexual connection. (One thing to add is that you need to have the first 2 loves, the Raya and Ahava, before you get into the Dod. Ever hear the term meanness sex? Some relationship are hot, but burn out… is because the relationship was lacking the Raya, and Ahava… In the song of songs it clearly says you must have these three loves to have great love. To have the love that the characters of the man and women feel for each other you must have all three loves, as to not burn out.)
This question has been stuck in my head all week. Not only because of a song that was playing on my radio. But because I find myself looking for love, and what is love? How do I know when a man really does love me? My ex told me so many times he loved me… and I believed him and I was hurt. How can I protect myself from this happening to me again? Thing is I can't, Love is risky, but the outcome can be far beyond the risk. Nothing in life that is worth having doesn't come with out a list of risk.
Question is are you a risk taker?
I have been studying Christian behavior. What I see is blindness. I have been talking a lot to my friend Mark. He is such a joy to have as a friend. But he has brought to my attention some of the stuff that us Christians are doing, which isn’t right.
Like for example, I was on Christian chat and I was helping a new believer with his new faith and relationship. While I was doing this a huge fight broke out between to BELIEVERS about some dogma doctrine that really doesn’t matter. It all just boiled down to each interpretation.
This new believer was shocked at what he was witnessing and Private Messaged me right away. He said, “How can I someone who is looking find answers when were bricking amongst ourselves.” All I could reply back was, “This is from the makings of religion and pride. It has nothing to do with a relationship.”
We all have different views, this make sense since we are all different, and have different backgrounds. Were not all going to agree with ever single little thing. But since we don’t agree doesn’t make one side wrong and the other right. Come on church! When are you going to recognize that we are ALL different. Therefore God isn’t going to treat us all the same!
To prove my point do a little study on Jesus. See how he healed people, some people he spoke “Rise up and walk”, other times he touched the leper (which was considered unclean, and other times he rubbed mud in a blind mans eyes. Now Jesus is God. He could have just thought, be healed. They would have been healed. But why did Jesus treat people differently. (Naa Duh! huh.) Well think about it. Church is a body, with different body parts which have different functions. So of course were going to be different, were going to see things different. Fact is we have one purpose. So quit putting the focus on ourselves and keep pressing forward, start WORKING TOGETHER!
Its about time WE were about OUR fathers business!
