SUBJECTIVE RELIGION

/
4 Comments
I noticed recently that there are very few things in our planet that are up for interpretation. Most of what we have we care to share with everyone else. New music, clothes, sales, trends, books, technology, videos, websites, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Yet it seems the one thing we leave to ourselves and our journey is our faith / spirituality / religion. It seems that is the one thing that we don't care to share, don't care to broadcast, don't care to reveal. Everything else seems so easy and non-invasive. Why do our experiences with Jesus have to be any different? I've found that either something is true or it isn't. There are very few things that are subjective anymore. It's true or it's not. We don't test gravity. No one debates or questions whether that is true or not. It just is. And here we are saying the God we serve is much more real and true than that. Looks like we've got some explaining to do.

At some point someone had to test gravity... Sucks to be that guy...

I'm kinda with Ryan here.

Unfortunately, religion and faith are up for grabs to the world. People hear truth spoken from a religious perspective and shut it down. But, we shouldn’t feel embarrassed to speak about the truth in our life. God is good and I love him. That doesn't challenge anyone’s personal beliefs; it is my belief and experience. Religious beliefs are seen as invasive though - so we should tread lightly and focus on the relationships we have, not the potential converts were acquainted with.

Kev, I'm with you completely. I think we have to focus on relationships. I think that's why I said what I said. I can see how it could come off as proselytizing people. I'm not looking to wield a sign or a tract anytime soon. It has to be done in the greatest of relationships, but as with anything else that is good we are in the place to share it with everyone. If we run into a good restaurant, we want everyone we know to have a part of it also. We are opportunity makers. We are the ones who present the opportunity for all to "taste and see that the LORD is good."
