One Yeti's Perspective #261: In The Middle

in #faith6 years ago


In the middle is where I often find myself. After reading and watching some things yesterday, I was left with an idea of people being caught.

When we have religion, we attempt to work out our faith via works and routine. When we have spirituality, we try to work out the universe without guidance. In the middle is where I find myself.

I trust in Jesus and His teachings for understanding of my faith. Beyond that, I trust God to open my mind to the wonders of the universe.

How things will ultimately work out....that's what we are all hoping to learn.

Be well. Be encouraged. Be radical.

Brother, my heart goes out to you! I’m not sure what kind of feedback you were looking for, but from watching the video, it seems like you are in a place of doing a lot of digging in and searching. I think this shows that Yahweh is pursuing you.

With all this “debating” shall we call it, going on with religion, I see a lot of people’s hearts hardening, and that is a dangerous road to go down. May we all remember that love was the greatest command and not to harden our hearts!

Right on. I believe these last couple have been very transformative for me. I have been born again for over 20 years, and now it is growing. I explain it as being a devotee of Jesus, not just a Christian.

YHWH has been calling me for a few years ..hard. What He has put on my heart is counter from what I have always known. He gave me a hard word to bring to anyone that calls on Jesus as their savior...

"He is taking us from a time of believing in Him to a time of knowing Him"

I took it as not just opening our bibles and being able to see that Jesus is real, but through devoted prayer and meditation that we will be able to connect with Him...and know Him.

When I see arguements or debate, right or wrong, tearing others down, or drawing hard lines...my heart hurts. It hurts for them all. There is more....and that is simply Jesus.....Love.

I enjoyed this talk. From what I have heard of Jesus, I agree with the perspective synopsis you came up with here. Personally I feel we all know what is Just or Unjust. Our personal morality guides us. The more terrible things you allow yourself to do, the further away the voice of morality has to shout to reach you. Living a life of balance, respect, and gratitude helps amplify that morality voice in your head. When yin meets yang in the dantein spiritual power rises allowing us to raise our illumination chances.

Well said. I agree that our energy ranges from survival to enlightened. You are right about the voice of morality. Some may see it different, I believe that voice is God and is always calling us. The more we listen the closer we become. Jesus came and changed the world, and showed us the way to connect with the Father. Have you ever read Matthew ,Mark, Luke, and John( without denominational influence)? It has changed my life. Be well.

Amazing way to start a book.
And the rest of your text is awesome too.
Have you ever thought about writing a book?
