Those Who Have The Disease Called Jesus

The Deeper We Grow In The Spirit Of Jesus Christ, The Poorer We Become - The More We Realize That Everything In Life Is A Gift. The Tenor Of Our Lives Becomes One Of Humble And Joyful Thanksgiving. Awareness Of Our Poverty And Ineptitude Causes Us To Rejoice In The Gift Of Being Called Out Of Darkness Into Wondrous Light And Translated Into The Kingdom Of God's Beloved Son.

Reality, Truth, And Jesus Christ Are Incredibly Open-ended

The Spirituality Of Wonder Knows The World Is Charged With Grace, That While Sin And War, Disease And Death Are Terribly Real, God's Loving Presence And Power In Our Midst Are Even More Real.

The Engaged Mind, Illuminated By Truth, Awakens Awareness; The Engaged Heart, Affected By Love, Awakens Passion. May I Say Once More - This Essential Energy Of The Soul Is Not An Ecstatic Trance, High Emotion Or A Sanguine Stance Toward Life: It Is A Fierce Longing For God, An Unyielding Resolve To Live In And Out Of Our Belovedness. - Pg. 152

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.
