Building Permanence

Shall we build a tabernacle on our journey?

At one point, the disciples of Christ offered to build a permanent structure to honor what must have seemed like the pinnacle moment of Christ's time on earth at that point.

Jesus, more or less, scolded them.

I like to think the scolding was to point out that the journey of building relationships and understanding the completeness of God is not a journey that has an end.  I mean, in our families, friendships, and even casual relationships, how often do we say, "Wow. This is the best it's ever gonna be. We should just stop working now."

I believe that the whole of the world; those of MANY faiths, including Christians are all on a journey that will someday result in ALL the WORLD coming to a singular vision of who God is.

I believe that no one faith has, as of yet, all the answers.
I believe it will take all of our perspectives to understand everything.

Why do I say this?

Well, I do not want to make the mistake the disciples made of trying to set up a permanent tabernacle and stop the journey.  There is evidence through even just written history that ALL faiths have changed over time and ALL faiths have matured.

I refuse to believe that the human race is done maturing and neither should our faiths be stunted by believing as such.

Turn the Other Cheek

Today we were asked to "remember the tragic events of September 11th, 2001."   Every year I am reminded that the REACTION to this event was part of a turning point for me.  I had, like a "good Evangelical Christian," voted for George Bush. I was raised to believe that Christians should vote Republicans because Republicans would behave like Christians. Then I heard Mr. Bush say we would "get them." My first thought was, "Wait. Did Jesus teach retribution and revenge?" I heard many of my fellow church family saying it was important to fight back against the "evil Muslim extremists." I penned and sent an open letter to George Bush, begging he reconsider lashing out at whoever we deemed was the obvious aggressor.  In our own wisdom, we automatically assume that retaliation is best, for it shows strength. Retaliation shows more than strength. Retaliation shows that we our proud of our values. Retaliation proclaims that these values are

psst. God Didn't Say "Sin"

When God found Adam and Eve after eating the fruit... Did He say anything about sin? Did He say anything about hell? Did He say anything about needing to offer sacrifices as penance? Did He establish any system for "corrective action?" Nope. He just made sure to remove them from the garden before they ate from the tree of eternal life and lived forever in shame. Sin and punishment are not God's idea. They are man's.

The Business of Church

If the title of this post didn't make you cringe, read on. If it made you cringe a bit, you can probably stop reading now. We likely already feel the same way. In my recent post , I lamented about "the Mission" of the church. In that post I was primarily concerned with the focus many churches seem to have of growing their membership. Let's also think a minute about the role of a church "service." Why do we meet for "worship services?" It is this focus that causes "church splits" and why those outside organized religion often shake their heads.  Churches spend time tweaking, debating, and lamenting changes to make "the best worship experience." I would ask that church organizations pause and ask, "What is the purpose of a church worship service?" If your purpose is to entertain or "invite everyone to experience God," then, by all means, keep tweaking and debating.  If your goal is to create a weekly experience
