How did Christians make it the first 1900 years?

When the year 1900 had rolled around in america only 9% of americans could read. How in the world did they ever get saved? How could they possibly have persevered without reading?

Its called faith. Its called intimacy with God, a relationship.

Sometimes I read blogs where its just this long long list of information, and i just wonder ....why?

I read how people are so involved in keeping some sort of law. It didn't help the Prodigal sons brother. He was a line tower, but he didn't know the heart of his own father. If he had, he would have been running with his father to greet his brother. He would have killed the fatted calf himself.

That is, if he had a Love relationship with his father instead of a law relationship.

How many of us as parents sat down with their at the end of each day and commend our for being good at being good.

No, a good parent chastises when it happens and forgets about that. They Love their because they are your treasure and blessing.

For who knows why, The Lord treasures us. He chastises us in the way that works best with each of us. He created us to have a Love relationship with him. Not to stand behind us and wait for us to do something wrong and whack us.

So why do we let people come up with these long elaborate concepts, when Jesus said it is simple.

Love God with all of yourself.

Be a branch and allow God to flow through you

Give him your yolk, and take his, for it is light.

After Jesus gives atonement you see no born again believers ever delivered from demons

no Christians ever have generational curses removed. Why? Because it was nailed to the cross with Jesus.

 Dennis, this is so good we are in a relationship not a religion.
God's love for us is never ending and His mercy is forever.
Blessings,

One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in His temple. Psalm 27:4
