"Everybody wants to go to heaven; no one wants to die."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"I am the door. If anyone enters through Me, that one will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come, except to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." Jesus, Son of Man, Prince of Glory, Redeemer.

"For I say unto you, except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and the pharisees, you shall in NO CASE enter into the Kingdom of HEAVEN."

Episode 2: Welcome to The Circle.

In The Circle, endowed with The Gift - abundant life - travellers are being exposed to elements, environments and energies shaping individual and communal experience. We use learnings on how beliefs and perceptions shape reality to inform choices and actions in order to create, innovate, build, and deliver as called. We share highlights.

Environments, Elements, Energies

. . . the fruit of the Spirit is
love
joy
peace
patience
kindness
goodness
faithfulness
gentleness
and self-control.
There is no law (Jewish Law) against such things.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY, but TO FULFILL.

"‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

JESUS the CHRIST

I am made in the image of God, not your image of God.

. . . We experienced the joy of what it means to believe in a risen Christ, a Christ which the grave could not contain, and reminded ourselves that we were called into that relationship with God, that we might be foolish enough to believe.

And by that we did not mean that we were dumb enough to believe it, but that we were foolish enough to believe: folish enough to believe that God could somihow use us to bring about transformation in the world; foolish enough to believe that love still wins; foolish enough to believe that regardless of what the world would have us do we follow a savior who lifts us up and who offers second chances to us all.

It was that God that we experienced, and drew togehter in the multitudes across this nation and across the world, and a God who was present then, and a God who is present now.

We believe in a God who is still speaking.

CITY on the HILL

Salt of the Earth

Have you noticed?

It's quite extraordinary. Striking, actually, especially considering some environments one may need to traverse en route.

You may have experienced the prevailing atmosphere of some of those environments (its 'bitter' requirements: tolls to God; sacrifices and payments; proofs of purchase).

With that backdrop, it is rather extraordinary experiencing (or at least realizing) the true nature of the living Spirit of God, the actual attributes of those in whom the spirit abides in this city; the premium quality of our sustaining energy. The Gift.

Look. You may already be experiencing its effusive flavors, appreciating its unique fragrance. Perhaps gratitude is once again rising, overflowing, re-fueling you as you examine your gift.

Isn't our endowment grand? It's awesome. No spark in it for divisiveness! For brow-beating! No seed of bitterness or cruelty or negativity or beat-down or strife. Awesome.

It's an INTIMATE gift. A power house. An infinite source nurturing our creativity, confidence, consistency, and courage. It sharpens our smile. You see?

It is a SIMPLE gift. No hastle. No comparisons. The SHINE. You see? No fret. Fully paid for. Rich. Not an ounce of it for sale. A celebration. Let's take another fresh look. SIMPLE, but powerful, isn't it? The Fruit: love - joy - peace - patience - kindness - goodness - faithfulnness - gentleness - self control. AWESOME. Toss all litmus lists into a trash can. Taste and feel this outpouring. Experience endowed abundance. Enjoy. You're welcome.

Who are the scribes and the pharisees?

It ought to be noted:

"For I say unto you, except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and the pharisees, you shall in NO CASE enter into the Kingdom of HEAVEN."

Self-righteousness is a huge problem. Spiritually it is a non-starter. God is not fooled. It satisfies ego. And it is dangerous. On a human level, it damages the psyche. It inflicts emotional, spiritual, and collateraly, physical damage. It is fake. It influences weak innocents to be fake, spreading the damage. It blocks humans from so much of the marvel of creation. It lies about divinity. God has no need of self-righteousness. NOT IN THE KINGDOM.

LOVE is patient and kind. Love is not boastful or jealous or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice, but rejoices wherever there is truth. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. NO NEED TO FAKE IT. Do you know who you are? You're gifted an infinite source, a stable connection, a guiding clarity. That's just starters. There is much more. Let your light SHINE. Ready to prepare to create and deliver your masterpiece? Let's get cracking. It's a new world . . . in The Circle. [Pssst ... if you're lost or looking to worship - GO HERE!]

When a person knows better, that person is availed opportunities to do better. When a person does not know better, that person abides in a particular struggle, for good or ill, with what he or she knows, for to that person that's all there is, no more.

What is your insecurity? Name it. Sit with it for a few moments. Understand it. What will you do with it and about it? You're in The Circle on a Journey of being and becoming, creating, as is suitable to your call and purpose, in a world that is rapidly changing. You are not alone. There are clouds of witnesses cheering you on. Here, too, are others. Decision-makers. Problem-solvers. Designers. Creators. Doctors, Engineers, Entrepreneurs, Pastors, Coaches, Lawyers. Parents, Athletes, Students. Folks straddling many walks of life. All of us learning and growing as we go. Share. You are not alone. If you have all the answers, this is not the place you'd want to be. Chau.

What would you do if you had all the means at your disposal?

WHY?

Come, let us all be friends for once,
Let us make life easy on us,
Let us be lovers and loved ones,
The earth shall be left to no one.
