“Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to
God as other teachers of religion do. He is Himself the way”
― Karl Barth

the seven secrets to a vibrant Christian life!
six happy hops to heaven
five principles for holy living
the four cornerstones of salvation
the three conditions for joy
the two strategies for abundance and wealth
have you ever noticed
that almost every religious site is full of
numbered
principles, guidelines, steps, secrets
to something?
sometimes it makes me search for the ginger
or Dramamine
seriously
communion with the Sacred is not a matter of
formulas
and steps
and human strategies
forget 3 steps to spiritual growth (sorry Rick
Warren)
or 4 Essential steps to spiritual growth
formulas fail
always
always
what never fails
is love
the deep, profound, mystical, mysterious bond
between
the Sacred which is God
the Sacred personified in Jesus
the Sacred which is in us, which is the Spirit
we need to take seriously the Sacred Presence we
carry,
we need to lean back into the deep warmth of this
Presence
We need to celebrate it
commune with it
live it
as mysterious
and messy
and unpredictable
