We worshiped Jesus instead of following Him on his same path.
We made Jesus into a mere religion instead of a journey toward union with God and everything else.
This shift made us into a religion of “belonging and believing” instead of a religion of transformation.

Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte, Kentucky, was built on the casting floor of a 19th Century iron blast furnace. We use "The Casting Floor" as an image for the power of the Spirit to form us. Visit us at http://communitypresbyterian.org.
I agree. What is the source for your quote?
ReplyDeleteThe author is Fr. Richard Rohr, but off the top of my head, I don't recall where I found it. Fr. Rohr is an economical preacher whose style I very much appreciate. He's got a blog as well. Try https://cac.org/sign-up?gclid=CNu1qriMrcQCFRCqaQodlZgAdQ
