Man, as God imagined, is as eternal in nature as is God's thought of him so being. The life of this eternal person is the Christ, whose Living Light is to this, our immortal soul, as is blood to our physical body. When a person has come to know a true love for the Christ, this love is more something he is held by, and not something that he holds of himself within himself. So that true...

I am moved by your works, but I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ. Are you a Christian? Are your teachings based on the Bible that tells us Jesus was the son of God? Do you believe in the kingdom to come?...

Being able to see -- by the Light of Christ -- any form of darkness in yourself, without falling into either opposite of denial or despair, is the first sign of the living Christ being born in you.

There is only one way that any of us will ever know the real meaning of Christ's life, and that is... to share in his death. This means we must give up what he gave up if we would know, from ourselves, what was gained through his deliberate sacrifice.

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of January 2, 2017. Part 1: Without the indwelling presence of an eternal Christ--in whose radiance is made apparent the shadows that we have taken to be our self--we couldn't see, never really comprehend the difference between spiritual darkness and light; we'd be unable to differentiate between weakness and strengthLet alone be willing to surrender our...

Classroom Talk: 04/20/2025 - The life and death of the Christ did not happen two-thousand years ago, any more than the rising and setting of the sun belongs to a particular place and time. Seen, or not, the life of Christ is always now…as is His sacrifice for the sake of the continuing perfection of the human Soul.

Hatred, violence, finger-pointing, and just plain suffering seem rampant these days, with religious belief systems often at the core. Wouldn't a true Christian or a true Muslim, or any other believer in God for that matter, be less self-serving and more kind and compassionate towards others, with the highest prayer being for the good of all? How is it that acts of darkness and pain directed...

There is one way, and one way only, that any of us will ever know the real meaning behind the life of Christ, and that is... to share in his death. And by this, I do not mean symbolically, or by any other allegory. If our wish is to know the truth behind his seemingly incomprehensible, incomparable act of self-sacrifice -- and the rebirth that crowns this surrender -- there's but one thing to...

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of April 8, 2013. Part 1: By love we overcome death, for death is an act of love... not the end of it. Part 2: Realizing one's spiritual helplessness never tastes good, nor does it ever go down easy; but, if our wish is to eat the Bread of Life, we must not turn away from the table set before us.

Today I received, for the 10,000th time, an email asking me if I believe in Jesus Christ...with all of the rest of the usual "trappings" (a good word for such questions, by the way). Here is my response: There is only one way, and one way only that any of us will ever know the real meaning of Christ's life, and that is to share in his death – this means we must give up what he gave up if we wo...

Until we're willing to take the path through life whose signpost is marked 'unknown,' we are destined to travel along the old ways, regardless of how many new names we give to them.
