Statement: The Heartbeat of Christian Faith* (05/24/'24)

The Heartbeat of Christian Faith Dear Friends, Christianity reveals a profound logic where the impossible becomes possible and the possible turns impossible. At its core lies the sacrifice of the cross and the power of resurrection, urging us forward with absolute trust and courageous faith, even in the face of death. This faith unites reason and spirit, guiding our actions through sincerity rather than abstract concepts. Christianity is unique, not as a path of practice for enlightenment, but as a journey of a courageous heart that transcends the fear of death and embraces pure belief. We come to this understanding not through logic but through sudden realization, acting on the truth of resurrection and transcending death's boundaries, captivated by the heart and spirit of Christ. Like warriors unafraid of death, Paul and the disciples displayed fearless grace, born not from secrets or training, but from the same spirit and faith of Jesus. Their unwavering belief in the resurrection united heaven and earth. This transformative logic is the heartbeat of our Christian faith. Let us embrace this spirit, living courageously in the truth of resurrection and the love of Christ. Blessings, Pastor Steven G. Lee (May 25, 2024)
