In response from Jefferson Bethke to Church Leaders Page, Question: In the poem, you say, “Religion is behavior modification.” Doesnt a relationship with Jesus modify our behavior? JEFF: Yes. I 100% agree with that sentiment. That’s something that I wasn’t expecting to hear back. But as I say in the line [in the poem], “Religion is just behavior modification, like a long list of chores...” because Jesus isn’t just behavior modification; he’s also a heart change that leads to behavior modification. Religion picks the bad fruit off the tree when Jesus just plants a new tree. That’s essentially the crux, the root, and the core of my poem. I love this definition of religion vs. grace...thanks
