Been thinking about faith and church lately.
It occurs to me that so many, even clergy, get the whole premise of Christianity wrong.
The Bible is not at the core of Christianity. The resurrection is.
The Bible is man made and is fallible.
Jesus is infallible.
Jesus died for our sins.
Jesus rose.
Jesus loved.
Jesus is love.
The Lord’s love is unceasing.
Love moved first.
Love moves first.
#LoveMovesFirst
One of the most difficult things I've done in my spiritual life was also one of my most rewarding. I was the Lay Director of Walk 2201 - Hays Praise Emmaus Community - Hays County, Texas.
It happened to be the last Walk to Emmaus the community had before the pandemic. It was held Jan 30 - Feb 2, 2020 at the Wellspring Retreat Center in Blanco, Texas.
If you are seeking a closer relationship with Jesus Christ and you've never been on a Walk To Emmaus, I highly recommend it. It's a 72 hour retreat where you are removed from the world around you and are able to concentrate on your spirituality. You can find more information and likely find a community in your area from this site: link
Hopefully, when it is safe to gather again, new Walks will take place.
Anyhow... Once church services were relegated to online, I was asked to deliver the bible verse one Sunday and it happened to be the "Encounter on the Road To Emmaus."
I called several folks from Walk 2201 and we recorded ourselves.
I wanted to share this. Love. Moves. First.
Luke 24 (13-35)
