The Christian Faith is not a religion. It is a way of life. It is a practice of the presence and spirit of God. It is the allowing of the spirit of Christ to express himself through our lives. The Bible teaches that we are Temples or containers of God. We do not bring the law, condemnation or judgment but we bring the spirit of Christ. We bring Love, Peace and Joy. We bring acceptance, inclusion and hope.
This is our gift to the world....a God given, Love and hope that has within itself the power to transform individuals, relationships, families, communities and nations simply because it connects and bonds us to God and each other.
Once embraced, this spirit of Love heals the embracing one by shattering the false image of being separate and unloved and reveals our true identity of being the beloved. However the spirit of Christ does not stop there but also reveals to us that all people are God's beloved.
This love empowers and propels us to demonstrate and reveal this message of love to all. This is the "Good News". The is the mission!
