I plan to write a new post about the latest political news tomorrow, but wanted to share a bit about my faith journey on here today. I’m doing this because everything I write on here needs to be seen in the light of my renewed turn toward Christianity.
Evangelicals, as defined by current ‘culture’, are forgetting how many times Christ told Peter “worry about yourself” instead of what someone else is doing / getting / saying / etc.
Thank you for this deeply honest, brave, and moving post, Stan. I think so many of us have been alienated from Christianity due to a combination of negative past experiences and our nation’s current toxic religious/political culture. I often feel very lonely in my faith, as if I don’t even speak the same language as most Christians, especially fundamentalists. Nonetheless, I continue to pray and encourage my kids to believe in things that cannot be seen.
I’m so sorry for your heartache over your parents. I know that you’ve been led to find strength and comfort in God and in your study of the Bible, and I hope that you continue to be inspired.
😊 May our God bless and keep you. Glad he sought you, found you, and brought you back into His fold. Now we have to, by the mindful example of our lives, help bring others through their own searches. ❤️.
I like reading your musings, Stan. This particular one has really moved me. I don’t want to go into a lengthy discussion about religions and God, I just don’t have the sufficient energy left for that now, in another time I would have to talk about theology, another passion of mine.
I just want to say, can’t one-I-believe in God without “belonging” to any man made religion?
I’m so tired, like exhausted, about this religion relationship we all have. It’s what tearing humanity apart. It hurts me to see that. I guess I’m too an emotional person, I can’t just see any human, creature suffer, nor myself and yet I do, suffer a lot.
Thank you for letting me express myself, Stan. I feel I can with you.
I pray you’re at peace, with yourself and the world. Stay blessed. 🧡🙏🤲
