Have God, Like God, or love God?

HAVE GOD: those who are saved and thats how deep their roots are (very shallow)
LIKE GOD: Those who are saved and want to love God but cant quite get it together
LOVE GOD: Those who desire to not only to talk the talk but to walk the way a CHRISTian should live in christs likeness and following God.

Interesting thought: We know Goliath as a Giant but you could desribe him as a BEAST. He was a BIG guy! "And the(Beast)Goliath defiled the living God" 1 Samuel 17:26, 36-37 "And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?...Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee." If we could have the same anger that David had, when we hear someone swear, think how we could change some of the language people are allowed to use in the Media today! In movies and the internet there is no limit in words people are allowed to say. (And its not just in the area of media that people need to start taking a stand but its in other areas as well) One problem is Christians are using the same language unsaved people so that there is almost nobody going against the flow.
