The more I learn 

about God, 

the more I realize

how much I have yet

to learn...

and the more I realize 

that there are some 

things I will never

understand.... 

and it's okay.

I am one

to ask hard questions... 

one who refuses

to accept

things at face value,

before searching it out

on my own 

&

finding it to be 

true...

and yet... 

the more I search, 

the more I find that

God is infinitely bigger

than any of us

will ever fathom, 

and that we, 

as humans, 

CANNOT

fully comprehend

the hugeness of Him... 

His nature... 

His love... 

I cringe when I encounter

"scholarly" & "religious" 

men and women, who think 

they know everything

there is 

to know

about God. 

They've heard all the 

stories... 

Sang all the songs... 

They've "arrived"... 

It is these people,

who stop 

searching,

stop 

seeking, 

stop 

learning... 

They become complacent... 

Jesus referred to it

as "lukewarm"... 

He called them 

white-washed tombs... 

He said that it is better 

to be

HOT or COLD

rather 

than being

lukewarm.

It is the most dangerous 

place to be, and the evil one

know this... 

he knows

that he doesn't need to 

waste time on 

lukewarm Christians

because 

they've already

dug themselves into a hole.  

They become hardened 

to His Spirit... 

They forget

the hugeness of God... 

They forget the awe 

they once felt 

towards Christ.  

They begin to put God

in a box... 

and twist Scripture

for their own purposes... 

How very sad this is to me! 

& 

How infuriating! 

Their complacency & hypocrisy, 

& 

judgmental hearts

are what drives people 

away from the church, 

and as a result, 

from God.  

 As Gandhi said, 

  "I like your Christ. 

I do not like your Christians.

Your Christians are so unlike 

your Christ." 

Our lives are 

to point to Christ

&

bring others to Him; 

not to drive them 

away... 

"Anyone, then, who knows 

the good he ought to do

and doesn't do it, sins." 

- James 4:17

"But the wisdom

that comes from heaven

is first of all pure; 

then peace-loving, 

considerate, 

submissive, 

full of mercy & good fruit, 

impartial & sincere.

Peacemakers who sow 

in peace

raise a harvest 

of righteousness."

- James 3:17-18
