I AM NOT LOSING MY MIND (or my faith for that matter).
for so many years, we have just accepted the way the christian church is. the way it thinks. the way it "worships". not anymore. by deconstructing this faith we hold, we will strip away all the human constructions that have unfortunately taken us away from the truth of love, peace, hope. then we will see truth. jesus. light. we need to ask questions.
like.
why do we focus so much on the "afterlife" and not on our PRESENT life?
is this an excuse to live a mediocre life of love?
instead of using hell as some sort of scare tactic to get people to "become" christians, we should talk about the kingdom. the kingdom of God. anywhere that God reigns. this is eternal life. living in the kingdom. loving others. loving ourselves. loving God.
practicing peace. teaching peace. living. breathing.
breathe in - beloved...
breathe out - i am here.
use me. teach me. here. now.
restoration. deconstruction. inspiration. reconciliation.

Random blog surfing - kinda. Jon is family. Anyway, I liked this post. I also just started reading an awesome book - The Case For Faith, by Lee Strobel. I would definitely recommend it.
