Religion is a living process, and it will mature as you mature. If you are 50 and your religion is the same to you now that it was when you were 20, you’re not doing it right.

Beliefs Are A Vehicle, Not A Destination
In many religious traditions beliefs are a vehicle, not a destination. In some religious traditions beliefs aren’t even the vehicle, but more like training wheels.

Religion
My working definition of religion is that it’s a discipline or practice —not just a belief system —that enables one to experience, be at one with, or otherwise re-connect to an intangible something greater than the limited self.

Oneness
Saint Paul says, “… there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3: 28). The new humanity that we are pointed toward is not neuter or unisex or even oversexed, all of which make love impossible. In Christ we are whole, one, in union, integrated, wholly holy. That is the final product of the Spirit’s work of making all things one. It is the consummate achievement of God in Christ who reconciles all things within himself (Colossians 1: 20) and invites us into the ongoing reconciliation of all things (Ephesians 5: 20).

God Is Not Nice
I love to remind people that the word “nice” is never found in the whole Bible. God is not nice, it seems; God is wild.

Yahweh Is God Of All The Peoples
God is not a “company man” and does not appear to be calling for company or tribal values. Yahweh is the God of “all the peoples” and forms his own “rainbow coalition.”

Greater Than All Yet Present In Each
