Worship
Herein, is an approach to worshiping God. I’m not a prophet or clergy, I’m a commonologist with no credentials other than I love God and Creation… same as a lot of other folks.
The best way to worship and serve God, is to love. We honor our Father when we love and respect ourselves and others.
We’re in touch with our Creator when we feel love and humility.
As an adult, after my second major mental breakdown, I studied and worshipped the Bible. I collected several different versions. I have my prized edition wrapped in a fancy leather case. I desperately needed healing. I fell in love with the book. But it wasn’t the Bible that I was in love with. I realized that I was loving God with the Bible… It’s a feeling… almost like when sensing and appreciating a bird, flower or jellyfish. (see Feeling)
Worshiping the Bible causes us to elevate the fully human aspects of its writings to Holy. I believe that Satan is responsible for that practice because he’s a tricky “used car salesman”. Satan is cleverly smart. He knew that elevating men’s words to Holy in Scripture would divide us. Dividing your enemy is a basic step towards achieving power over them. In the fray, it’s easier for the demon to use our emotions against us. (see Overcoming)
Humans
God isn’t human. Humans are one of His creations. Most of us are crazy with wackiness of one sort or another. Wackiness is as individual as we are.
God’s creations have His fingerprint on them. His “feeling/healing” Spirit permeates everything. He’s in the air we breathe. He’s in the stars. He’s in a rock. The Bible reflects God’s Spirit, but not a Fingerprint. The Bible is a human tribute to God’s “built-in to everyone” Message with man’s fingerprint… like a church building. Our constructions have our fingerprint. God’s creations have His. God’s fingerprint is in us. We can “feel” God through each other… or an ant. Or referenced through the Bible, a website, or even a painting.
God’s love is not limited to a few people, it’s inside everyone and everything He created.
God tells us through the Bible that we should only worship our One God. That leaves each and every human as not Divine but on equal ground as part of God’s creation.
Connecting
Jesus taught us networking. He taught us to be discerning. He didn’t put us in an elaborate building or fancy leather case. He met us on the earth. He told us that we didn’t need a large crowd in order to be with Him. Jesus didn’t tell us to worship him, he said we are to worship God by loving all Creation.
God’s Spirit is reflected in the Bible because God is in us. God’s in a cloud. He’s in everything. Love permeates everything. God is reflected throughout the universe.
Satan exists because of God. So do we.
We’re on dangerous ground when placing Devine attributes on fully humans… The ones that built the Bible cannon, the writers of its contents and the clergy. We’re holding men above other men. God says we’re all equal in His eyes. But we typically don’t follow that thinking.
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12 NIV
In other words, it’s illegal to be an a’hole. Loving in kindness is the key to pleasing our Creator.
The Dream
It’s been many a dreamers’ dream to unite us as one under Love. God and Love are one in the same.
Only one message can unite us… God’s Teaching us how to Love. I don’t believe humans will ever globally unite without God’s Love Message as the guiding Spirit.
Jesus taught us to pray with a grateful heart, asking the Father to make it on earth as it is in heaven.
