There is not a native, a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Jewish, Islamic, Christian way of loving. There is not a Methodist, a Lutheran, an Orthodox way of running a soup kitchen. There not a gay or straight way of being faithful nor a black or Caucasian way of hoping. We all know positive flow when we see it and we all know resistance and coldness when we feel it. All the rest are mere labels.

Love, which is nothing more than endless life, is luring us forward, because love is what we also and already are....But have no doubt, Love will always win. God does not lose.

Over the past six months or so, I’ve really been struggling with Christianity. I was born and raised in an evangelical friends church, which to those who don’t know, is quite like Quakerism (leaving lots of room for the Holy Spirit, singing old hymns, conservative leanings, and rather old fashioned in doctrine). The Evangelical Friends denomination interested me in concept when I was younger, as this denomination feels called to reach out to the community and share the Good News. But if I’m being completely honest, I didn’t see that. Instead, I saw a church crumble and nearly cease to exist because it was far more focused on rules and religion than the community around them. Fast forward to the present, years after deciding I was nondenominational, and I’m still here, struggling with Christianity. American Christianity seems to be, by and large, focused on rules, pick-and-choose Christianity, prejudice, and exclusiveness. Additionally, I still fail to see the outreach, the unbiased love, the compassion, and that hurts. Where are the people who say they stand by the word of Christ? Why do I see God’s love more in the people you’ll never see in church than you do the ones who fill the halls every Sunday? This is only the tip of the iceberg of my issues with religion and Christianity, and I’ll talk more about the rest in subsequent messages. But I want to say, I’m finding clarity through prayer and meditation, nature, honest talks with close friends, and the wisdom of Richard Rohr. This quote is from his book, Everything Belongs. Just something to think about. // #reflection #richardrohr #christianity #americanchristianity #weareflawed #thegentlestrength #opinion #discussion #faith #jesus #god #evangelism #moretocome #letstalkaboutthis (at Erie Island Coffee Rocky River)

As you spiritually mature, you can forgive your own—and others’—mistakes. You can let go of everyone who hurt you, your former spouse, the boss who fired you, the church, or even God. You have no interest in carrying around negative baggage. Wisdom emerges when you can see everything, you eliminate none of it, and you include all as important training. Finally, everything belongs. You are eventually able to say, from some larger place that may surprise you, “It is what it is” and “Even the ‘bad’ was good.” When Christians ignore parts of their own message, it seems the Spirit always gets another group to emphasize it and spread it. Like flowing water, God always finds a way through. Receptive, flowing people are the ones who change the world and transform history. Their possibilities are limitless, because they do not let any seeming barriers stop their path; in fact they well up from within until they can surmount any obstacle. “Be like water” is a good piece of advice.”
