Embracing Reality Through Divine Love: A Journey of Faith and Action (02/24/'24)* < Message

Embracing Reality Through Divine Love: A Journey of Faith and Action Dear Friends, In our journey through life, we often find ourselves at the crossroads of reality and illusion, navigating through a haze of delusion and suffering. It's in these moments that we are reminded of a guiding principle that can illuminate our path: "Loving God is loving your neighbor as yourself, reality infused with God's love." This principle is not just a beacon of hope; it's a compass that directs us towards living a life rooted in divine love and understanding. Conflict arises when there's a disconnect between our words and our actions. But imagine the harmony we could create if we always acted before we spoke. The gospel of Christ teaches us just that. It's a timeless message that adapts to our ever-changing world, urging us not to postpone its teachings but to embrace them as a call to action in the here and now. By living in accordance with the gospel, we bridge the gap between our past, present, and future, eliminating the root of many conflicts. Jesus' message is deeply intertwined with the essence of human nature. It tells us that through the grace of Christ, our wounded nature can be renewed. This message wasn't influenced by external factors but was a response to our inherent human condition. Believing in and living out the gospel is a process as natural and beautiful as a child learning to walk - instinctive, filled with grace, and reflective of our innate capacity for growth and understanding. Let us embrace this journey of faith and action together, letting our lives be a testament to the transformative power of divine love. Share this message of hope and unity with others, and let's inspire a world where actions and words are in harmony, guided by the profound teachings of the gospel. With love and faith, Pastor Steven G. Lee (February 25, 2024)
