Have you embraced Religion or the Gospel?

How do you relate to God? Have you believed the good news (Gospel) of His Son Jesus? Further, are you continuing in the Gospel, or has the Christian life become all about religion to you?

How are you motivated? By fear or by love? Do you enjoy God? Do you obey Him order to be accepted? Or, because you are accepted by Him do you then obey?

  • What is deTheos?

    The two Greek words de ("but") and Theos ("God") are the first two words of Ephesians 2:4: "But God, who is rich in mercy..." Because of God's great love and grace extending to us in Jesus Christ, we are forgiven, redeemed and able to know, love + enjoy God more fully, ever-increasing and forever.
    This site contains the thoughts and conclusions and journeys of the Patterson family -- Jeff, Kari and Dutch -- who have experienced the front-end of God's amazing grace, and continue to delight in His unfailing love.
    Read more about us, and what we hold most precious.
