Becoming Whole

Let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.

Galations 6:10 THE MESSAGE


Some people come to church looking for a way to make life better, to feel good about themselves... Other poeple come to church because they want God to save and rule them...

One group of people sees religion as a way to successful happy living; nothing that interferes with the success or interrupts the happiness will be tolerated. The other group sees religion as a way in which hurt, flawed and damaged persons become whole in relation to God; anything will be accepted (mockery, pain, renunciation, self-denial) in order to deepen and extend that reality.

One...is the way of enhacing what I want; the other way is a commitment of myself to become what God wants.
