Episode notes
Religion Without God's Presence
- Religion is doing things related to God but missing His presence and person.
- Without intimacy and presence, spiritual activities become empty rituals of religion.
Avoid Dead Religion
- Avoid practicing religious acts out of obligation or dry routine.
- Seek the living presence of Jesus beyond just doing the "right" spiritual activities.
Christianity: Religion and Relationship
- Christianity is a religion but not in a negative way; it's about relationship over rituals.
- Jesus looks for intimacy, not just religious acts or appearances.
