Is your understanding of Christ a ritualistic and rutty experience, or are you engaging yourself with the Living God? Religiosity could be defined as making a way to God entirely through human effort. A life run on self-propulsion is destined to fail, while one that is Holy Spirit driven is certain to lead us to the promises of God! To characterize this struggle of right relationship with God, we can look at two acronyms that will help you to remember the vital tenets of the faith and what to watch out for. The CATS and DOGS acronym can help us to remember this vital life lesson.
Relationship
· Confession- We admit our powerlessness to God in prayer.
· Adoration- We respond with loving communication to God.
· Thanksgiving- We are grateful for all that he has done and going to do in our lives.
· Supplication- We communicate our obedience to Gods will for our lives.
Religiosity
· Dogmatic- Implies being emphatic about the rules.
· Ostentatious- Is the quality of seeking attention toward yourself.
· Grandiosity- Inflates your self-importance.
· Self-serving- Creates a strong disposition for idolatry, mainly you!
We all have the choice to serve Christ daily or to run on self-propulsion and be isolated from Christ and the Holy Spirit. The choice is always ours to make.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
