Not theology, but communion

The “life” that the Bible speaks of is,

It's neither an explanation, nor a theory, nor an ideology.

it is,

The reality of a relationship with God.

The reality of communion with the Spirit of Christ.


Not an explanation, but the substance.

The explanation touches the mind.

The substance touches life.

Where the Bible is placed,

Not meaning,

Existence itself.


Not logic, but life

The logic builds up.

Life is breathed into it.

When you touch it,

I know it's true on a deeper level.

That is the truth.


Not an ideology, but an involvement

Ideas are created by people.

Connections are where life flows.

The Bible is open,

Not an idea,

A connection with God.


Not theology, but communion

Theology is viewed from the outside.

Through connection, life enters from within.

Not a system for telling stories,

The given entity.

The Bible shows that

A quiet reality: communion with the Spirit of Christ.


**Life cannot be conveyed through explanation.**

It can only be reached through connection.

Rather than understanding the words,

Life is breathed into it.

When it makes sense,

Life enters it.

That is,

The Bible speaks of "life."
