Found these statements from Don Patterson following the link above:
I was recently at the airport in Chicago, waiting in the baggage claim area. For some reason, our luggage was delayed, so I had time to do my favorite airport passtime - watching people.
In my search for interesting people, I saw one young couple, apparently reuniting after one of them had been on a trip. They were facing each other, foreheads pressed together, holding hands so tightly you could see their white knuckles. They were similing and whispering to one another, oblivious of their surroundings. Their display of affection was pure and undistracted.
It reminded me of how my wife and I acted in our first years of dating. Now, after 20 years of marriage, our love is weathered. We understand one another, trust one another and love one another, but instead of a "first love" attitude, we most often display a durable, "tried and true" type of love to one another.
In our relationship with him, God longs for us to stay in that "first love" frame of mind. In Revelation, Jesus cries out to one church like a wounded lover:
I hold this against you; You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.
-Revelation 2:4-5 God wants a passionate, undistracted relationship with us. How do we do that?
We have to get away and be alone with God. In a quiet place, we need to listen to Jesus, "forehead to forhead", taking in his love, contemplating what he did for us and thinking about his promises. When we do that, we fall in love all over again.

Brett M - That's just more Methodist New Age enthusiasm and an open door to demons. It says nothing about Christ and the Holy Spririt only coming to us through God's Word. How is he listening to Jesus? Is Patterson attempting to start another Time of Grace operation with A Reason for Hope?
