Belief: If you run away from God, you'll simply run into Him somewhere else
Example: child game of chase--we all want to know that we are wanted, that we are important enough for someone else to chase down. The kids ran b/c it meant something to them.
-when we run from God simply to run into Him somewhere else it is NOT a coincidence that He is there and He is chasing after you
Belief: Religion is mankinds attempt to become right with God
--Most religions started somewhere on the earth that would be considered beautiful
Romans 1:20--founders of these religions responding to what they had seen in nature, became aware of their need to become right with God
--they attempted to reach UP to God. Created systems to explain what they saw in nature
--Message of Christ is unique in that its not about us striving to reach up, but rather God reaching down to man through Christ. Eating from the tree of life, not the tree of religion.
