Sunday’s Epistle 2 Timothy 1:1-7, reminds all Christ-centered spiritually awake believers, in all witnessing communities to be bold and courageous in their proclamation of the Gospel of Christ. They are called to authenticity in their teaching, living and sharing their unique gifts and ministries, as they follow the historical Jesus, in living the Paschal Mystery. They are challenged to be faithful ministers in rightly teaching, preaching and dividing the Christ-centered written and spoke Word of Truth, found in all the world religions.
Paul assures us that through the Christ-centered, spiritual mindedness of right brain hemisphere thinking, which the historical Jesus taught, all people, in all religions, cultures and ethnic groups can overcome internal fear, error, sin and all evil desires as well as external rejection and marginalization. Wholistic interpretation and daily practical application of the sacred writings and oral traditions in all the world religions are desperately needed in all religions, at this pivotal time in human history.
Many literal, carnal and mortal minded religious leaders in all the world religions, consider the universal, metaphysical and mystical Christ-centered, Holy Spirit-based teachings, principles and practices in the Gospel of Christ, as taught and modeled by the historical Jesus, heretical and apostasy. I believe that exclusion of the metaphysical and mystical approaches to any religion lays the sure foundation for confusion, error, xenophobia, spiritual sleep, spiritual blindness, spiritual deafness and spiritual death within any witnessing communities.
Christ-centered, spiritually awake witnessing communities are now emerging in all cultures, ethnic groups and religions. They stresses that God's grace, love, power and hope, have been eternally given to all humankind, through the Christ of faith and the Holy Spirit in the spiritual body of every person [John 16:12-15, Colossians 1:24-27]. These witnesses reject the inappropriate dominion of left brain hemisphere thinking and seek to regain the appropriate balance of right brain hemisphere thinking, feeling, emotions and actions, which the historical Jesus taught and modeled, throughout his incarnate earthly ministry, as kingdom living.
