Churchianity vs Christianity, Part 2

Being a member of a church does not make one a Christian any more than sitting in a garage makes one a car.

If we place the church, instead of Christ, at the heart of everything we do, then we are practicing Churchianity, not Christianity.

The kingdom that opens to those who become fully human is not a kingdom as understood in earthly terms...

The linking of the birth of the Christ-child with the winter solstice holds a profound message for us...

Once we claim the space where heaven and earth unite within us our eyes are opened...

When we actually see others we may also find ways to help their situation...

Like a magnifying glass, our souls take whatever is before us and reveal its hidden essence.

The farther we stray from our holy center, the less peace we know and the less peaceful we become.

The birth of the Christ-child is a much deeper mystery than what is embodied in most of our Christmas preparations...

We cannot exist in the presence of God until we can exist naked, unafraid, and uninhibited.
