Today I was listening to Rev. Ed Bacon on Oprah's Soul series and he said a few things that made me go ....WOW! I thought I would share.
Spirituality simply defined is connecting with God and Love.
religion is man's attempt to regulate and control spirituality through dogma, rules and creeds. It becomes a God substitute.
"Spirituality is what I live for and would die for, Doctrine and Dogma is what I would kill for.
Spirituality requires faith, uncertainty, connection and living and walking it out in the present.It brings freedom. Religion is cut and dry, is about certainty and it's followers do not want freedom or trade it for certainty.
To listen to this awesome broadcast:
