The Awakened Soul (11)

For too long the church has taught that the purpose of Christianity was to get us into heaven.  Sometimes I think that theology, that priority, was an invention of fearful men unable to make their peace with human limits and mortality.  But I say the priority of the Christian life is for us receive life, and having received it, to be like Jesus and bring life, give life, to have our aliveness bring aliveness to others.
