The Church Is Something Beautiful

... These Are The Two Factors That Lead To The Destruction Of Our Environment: Money And Time-or To Say It Another Way, Greed And Haste. The Question Is, Or Seems To Be, Are We Going To Have An Immediate Profit And An Immediate Saving Of Time, Or Are We Going To Do What We Really Should Do As God's Children?

So Our Building Of The Visible Church Becomes Much Like Any Natural Business Function, Using Natural Means And Natural Motives.

A Compassionate Open Home Is Part Of Christian Responsibility, And Should Be Practiced Up To The Level Of Capacity.

The Ancients Were Afraid That If They Went To The End Of The Earth They Would Fall Off And Be Consumed By Dragons. But Once We Understand That Christianity Is True To What Is There, True To The Ultimate Environment - The Infinite, Personal God Who Is Really There - Then Our Minds Are Freed. We Can Pursue Any Question And Can Be Sure That We Will Not Fall Off The End Of The Earth.

The Reality Of Living By Faith As Though We Were Already Dead, Of Living By Faith In Open Communion With God, And Then Stepping Back Into The External World As Though We Are Already Raised From The Dead, This Is Not Once For All, It Is A Matter Of Moment-by-moment Faith, And Living Moment By Moment. This Morning's Faith Will Never Do For This Noon. The Faith Of This Noon Will Never Do For Suppertime . The Faith Of Suppertime Will Never Do For The Next Morning. Thank God For The Reality For Which We Were Created, A Moment-by-moment Communication With God Himself.
