wow Kyle. I am proud of you for speaking your truth. I agree with you sir. I too was reared in the church family and followed B. Graham. I now know more about wolves in sheep’s clothing. I lost my way in the 70's and dabbled in the New Age searching for something other than Jesus. Thankfully, the Lord watched over me during that time because it was and is indeed menacing and very spellbinding, to say the least. Today, I am the temple of my Lord God, YHWH. He resides in me. I listen to His voice daily regardless of what is going on because I have learned that the evil one also speaks when I am gullible. Being where I was then I always question anything that resembles a "door" to my Father. John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. I, personally, ask Jesus for every baby step I take and I am sure you do as well. I take no chances with my eternity. Kyle, thank you for your posting. You have great articles and I love reading what you learn. Keep writing. Blessings my brother in Christ.

I cannot agree with you more. Religion has always been about restriction, about limitations, about following the leaders, and the geography and society to which you were born. It is about fitting in, believing the set doctrine and fear of disobedience. It is all about placating the Divine and bowing down. When I hear about people proudly stating they are god fearing, I shudder. Spirituality, on the other hand is all about liberation, about freedom, about innate wisdom, and it is universal and you can find the Divine in everything and everyone. It is acceptance, understanding and love. I do not fear the Divine at all. We are the best of friends.
