Inner Circle (Shema) - Goal: Deuteronomy 6:5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Middle Circle (Infatuation) - Goal: To be infatuated = strong short lived feelings. We are in it only when the emotion is in it.
Outer Circle (Inheritance) - Goal: Want the better deal! Your in it for the Inheritance. Think of a young supermodel who marries an old gray hair who is about to pass. How deep is the relationship?

Acts 4:13Acts 4:13 - When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
