I Knew There Was Only One Place

The Christ Within Who Is Our Hope Of Glory Is Not A Matter Of Theological Debate Or Philosophical Speculation. He Is Not A Hobby, A Part-time Project, A Good Theme For A Book, Or A Last Resort When All Human Effort Fails. He Is Our Life, The Most Real Fact About Us. He Is The Power And Wisdom Of God Dwelling Within Us.

We Must Go Out Into A Desert Of Some Kind (your Backyard Will Do) And Come Into A Personal Experience Of The Awesome Love Of God.

My Deepest Awareness Of Myself Is That I Am Deeply Loved By Jesus Christ And I Have Done Nothing To Earn It Or Deserve It.

I Knew There Was Only One Place To Go. I Sank Down Into The Center Of My Soul, Grew Still, And Listened To The Rabbi's Heartbeat.

When Absolute Control And Rigid Obedience Pose As Love Within The Family And The Local Faith-community , We Produce Trained Cowards Rather Than Christian Persons.
