Are you in tune? Are you playing in the right key? Rob Bell, a Christian speaker with the goal of rediscovering Christianity as an Eastern religion, as a way of life, speaks about who God is in this 10 min video. Well worth watching!!
"God gives us life and breath and everything else. God is generous. God is unrestrained, unconditional love."
The video left me with these thoughts: Jesus came to show us how to live in tune with the song, this is the way and the truth and the life. God's love is flowing within each one of us, everything that God is, is within us. Our hands, our hearts, our minds ...God is flowing through them. We have God's power within and we can make a difference. Does God love one and not the other? Does God save one from calamity and not the other? He came to show us reality at it's most raw. In his (Jesus') telling of truth, showing us this truth, we see the extremes of humanity and the love of God. Jesus didn't need to die, didn't have to die, could have prevented it, but chose not to. Why? Because we need to know the truth, we need to know the extremes we are capable of in life. We need to know how far apart and how close together hate and love can be. God is Love, this Love is flowing within each one of us, we need to hook onto that Love and discard the hate within that could even go to the murderous extreme of killing Love.
It occurs to me that traditional and progressive Christianity is a facade that is fading because it is not working anymore. God is the instrument of love flowing through our hearts, bodies and minds, making us an integral part of the orchestra! We will not be punished for being out of tune, but of course playing in the right key, being in tune, is a whole lot more fun and fruitful - for everyone!
