Finding The Spirit of Christ!
God comes into the world in surprising ways so that the sincere seeker will always find evidence. Is sincere seeking perhaps the real meaning of walking in faith? —Richard Rohr
We have forfeited our desire to reason. One of the delights in being human is the ability to reason. To look at issues and decide thru research, thought, and prayer where we stand. We have forfeited that, in order to feed our need to feel like we belong. Whether it’s to a certain religion, a political party, or a given club. To be tied together thru the experience of the spirit is the ultimate goal. It’s easy to sit and listen to a religious leader or a political party and adopt their thoughts and feelings. It’s much harder to ignore all that and listen to the holy spirit that lives in us. I have spent my life going to church. Watching people as they accept everything the preacher says without forethought or motive. “If the minister spoke it from the stage it must be correct.” Jesus mostly answered a question with another question. Why? Christ was saying “test everything”. Take direction but search your heart and listen to the spirit that lives within you. Each day I study, I read different theologians. I weigh different points of view against what my heart is telling me. I have had many tell me what they believe scripture to say. When I ask them to show me, they simply can not. Why? Because they simply heard it. Christ is asking more of us. He is asking us to listen to, and seek out his spirit. I Love You! Perry
