Christianity is a lifestyle - a way of being in the world that is simple, non-violent, shared, and loving. However, we made it into an established "religion" (and all that goes with that) and avoided the lifestyle change itself. One could be warlike, greedy, racist, selfish, and vain in most of Christian history, and still believe that Jesus is one's "personal Lord and Savior" . . . The world has no time for such silliness anymore. The suffering on Earth is too great.

As to his gospel, Jesus Christ came into the world as the image of the invisible God to communicate to us that not only did we not need to be afraid of God, but that God is more for us than we are ourselves or one another. God's love is infinite, and unstoppable, and will win!

What we know about God is important, but what we do with what we know about God is even more important.

...religion either produces the very best people or the very worst.

God comes to you disguised as your life.

The important thing is the willingness to give back the gift that is you, not the perfection of the gift itself. Can you feel the difference?

The journey never happens alone.
