Here is what I thought WOW ! WOW! WOW! but, I was not through the 1st page before I found myself wanting to sit down and talk with this fellow because, I believe there are 3 parts to Christianity and that we cannot do 1 and 2 until we do 3. We cannot Love God or our neighbor, regardless of who our neighbor is, until we do number 3 which is Love ourselves the way God Loves us, we have to find value in ourselves. We have to know that God Values us (Loves us) so much that he died for us and not only that, but he would do it again 7X70 times to reconcile us to himself. (See John 3:16) By the way, remember the word Love in John 3:16 is an action verb which required GOD to do something i.e.: fix the relationship between himself and me by making me righteous (without sin) even though I am a sinner. When we begin to understand how much God really values (loves) us then we can begin to see how valuable we are to him and we can also begin to understand just a shadow of what the word Love as Jesus is talking about when he said: \”For God so Loved… (Amazing Love how could it be that you my King would die for me) and … love your neighbors as yourself really means. Then from point 3 of the command of Jesus we can begin to move toward 2 and 1. And I do love the way Mr Perkins laid it out. I was very sad to learn that I will have to wait a little while longer to have that conversation but, I will look him up when I get there after I talk to Jesus and my parents.
