The Church of God

This entry is dedicated to my beloved daughter who turned eighteen this month. May our Lord (our Father) shower her (and all our daughters) with His grace that will enable her to attain in her youth, the level of spirituality and unwavering faith that took me five decades to reach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each day, I increasingly perceive signs (in various forms) that give support to my belief that we are indeed at the dawn of the age of spirituality...the time of mankind's spiritual renaissance...a time that immediately precedes the final "show of hands" by all spiritual entities.

This is the age when the human race as a whole finally rises to a whole new level of spiritual consciousness...a consciousness that transcends religion and all its associated institutions (man-made social structures that are meant to bring us to know and love God fully but which, due to their man-made nature, inhibit us from moving forward beyond a certain point of realization and understanding).

Religion (and the institutions that are borne of it) is NOT the true church of God. Neither is the church of God a physical structure of any kind (a truth that any enlightened form of religion readily acknowledges). I express this perspective even as I am someone who believes in the value of going to church (religious place of worship) to spend a quiet and undistracted moment with God and one who believes in the value of attending religious services regularly.

Rather, the true church of God is the collective set of all ACTS OF LOVE by ALL human beings who chose to love Him irrespective of their religion or lack of it.

For it is with our secreted acts of true love that we truly praise God. And from these hidden acts blossom forth visible manifestations that serve as a beacon of light for others who wish to seek Him.

This is the true church...the church of love...the church that Jesus, who is the Christ, established here on Earth.
