All we need is that one thing. . .

I have been really reminded of something extremely important. This week at the schools of mission, the missionaries have reminded me of the importance of knowing and following Jesus. Terrorism, boarder patrol, drug and alcohol abuse have a simple answer. Jesus. Last night, a missionary by the name of Jaffet spoke of this important relationship. He said, "We have 12 step programs and therapy sessions and all sorts of things like that, but we are missing the 13th step, Jesus."

Every other religion finds it's significance, it's heaven based upon living the right kind of life. If you are to take away that religion, there is no true heart felt desire to live right. That is the importance of this faith. We have a unique religion in Christianity, that salvation we recieve is not conditioned on how well we obey the rules. God does care that we are Holy but he desires for us to be holy based upon our love for Him, not because the law tells us to.
