Don't let worry kill you off - let the Church help...
Well, this is one of those items that appears in the church bulletin "bloopers"-style newsletters that I receive.
Sadly, however, for many of us, this represents our reality.
We have our faith and we join our churches; but, then we don't gain enlightenment through our own chasing after God, but instead let our 'church', the administration, the 'leaders', "the other people" and the dogma completely strangle us and our quest for truth. We let the byzantine nature of bureaucracy cheat us out of our inheritance and lead us onto a path of slow death.
We need a new understanding, a renewal of our faith that enables us to be the great people of God that Christ came to teach us to be. We *are* the church. Never forget that.
Are you really ready to live and not die?
Then Follow Him....
