Is it time yet.... ?
Time for a faith system for people who have issues and aren't afraid to admit it?
Connectionism is waiting.
Waiting for you to refuse to be afraid of change
and to find the courage to
turn from the idols of what was, modeled by the traditions and instructions given by God, like Manna... for its day
to sustain people who trusted Him
people dependent so much on His provision that they dare not hold on to what he gave yesterday
Time for fresh bread?
Connectionism...?
Let the ancient question ring once again... "What is it?"

Honorable Truth
If you are reading this chances are you are old enough to have experienced tragic hate and conflict that religion can produce.
You may be jaded by all the inconsistencies or indoctrinated to the point that even the most obvious doctrinal contradictions make sense to you without question.
But if you are sane and humble enough to admit it, you probably believe there is either more... or nothing more to what humanity has debated for thousands of years....
God? No God? Which God? Why God? What God?
Could this age old debate be resolved with a honest attempt at answering "what for...?"
Believing in God is for what? God existing is for for what? Humanity seeking connection to God is for what? Equating God to LOVE is for what?
Ummm prolly not going to resolve the addiction to friction over the fact and fiction of God. But there is truth worth noting... honorable truth:
We are connected and it may be for a reason. We are more alike than different and that may be for a reason. We have untapped potential, probably for a reason. You are reading this... yep, for some reason.
Maybe the reason is what God is for.
Maybe the reason is to prove that God is for you.

Faithful Skeptic
Am I supposed to believe a faith system based on a God that makes all things new should change so little?
Am I supposed to believe that those that have "found God" have no need of searching?
I believe but help my unbelief...
Am I supposed to believe that those that have "found God" have no need of searching?
Am I supposed to believe the gospel of a victorious savior is intended to leave me in constant need of rescue or saved?
Am I supposed to believe that I should be doing more of what could never be enough?
Am I supposed to believe that requirements forever fulfilled still obligate me?
Am I supposed to believe in a perfect creator that makes messed up stuff?I believe but help my unbelief...

Spiritual Technology
Skepticism and debates about the value and validity of biblical scripture are prevalent and seem to be becoming increasingly popular. Our hope is that we can cause a fresh perspective of the Bible to reveal a universal relevance without compromise of the Christ message.
Just like scientific theory that is based on studies and historical human accounts, it's time for mankind to tap into the Bible's accounts of the potential for "spiritual technology". More than mysticism, magic and mystery; the isness of God exists to be known, related with and connected too. But according to the account in scripture, if God is the same as in the beginning, His primary goal is the provision for His children - you and me. Like every parent created in the image of God, the parental instinct is a reflection of what spiritual technology should produce: NATURAL and SUPERNATURAL PROVISION for every need in the human experience.
Peace for fear, healing for sickness, hope of despair, joy for sorrow, eternal life for death...etc
But the process of developing the spiritual technology necessary to produce these results seems to require: humility, hunger and confidence in a promise from God.
The following is a great example of a scriptural precedent for tapping into supernatural provision.
Deuteronomy 8:3-4 (New International Version, ©2011)
3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. 4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
Matthew 4:4 (New International Version, ©2011)
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[a]”Friday, March 25, 2011
Do you value the eternal?
Everything we see fades. Everything that we see is subject to decay... corrosion and the destruction of time. But the invisible can live forever... love, hate, affirmations, encouragement discouragement, and faith are concepts that live beyond us as a human legacy.
How often do material and unimportant urgencies keep you from investing in eternal things? What kind of legacy are you building?

Christian does NOT EQUAL Christ-like
If you've met more than a few Christians and you know the story of the man who inspired the root word "christ" you probably have noticed at least the following two things:
1. Not all "christians" are equal.
2. Most don't resemble the nature of the person whose name they claim.
We challenge you not to be discouraged in finding the truth in the gospel of Christ and benefits of the wisdom truths that the Bible offers. The Bible was not intended to be worshiped NOR FEARED. But rather it is a divine tool to empower more than inspire with the Christ Concept as articulated in the life of the man called Jesus.
Check out the Christ Concept as a means of connecting with God, yourself and others in a love connection that you will find to be unparalleled. Fully Human yet ONE in harmony with GOD. This is the Christ Concept... this is Connectionism, what it means to be spiritually connected... this is Huemanity Unlimited.

Christianity for all or Christ for all?
Has Christianity become a graven image of God? Is "Christianity"now a social class, title or group rather than a identity or movement?
Our society has taught us to put things into titles like categorial boxes that are rarely accurate and always divisive. Titles like Black, White, Straight, Gay, Democrat, and Republican. Titles that do not adequately or accurately define identity, purpose or cause.
If a believer does not claim the title Christian would that void the power of believing the gospel?
What would it look like if a Muslim or Buddhist believed the gospel of Jesus Christ but maintained their cultural traditions? What would a "Christian" Muslim look like... or a Buddhist "Christian"? If your first thought is, "that's impossible" ask yourself why and then go study scripture and history. After you get past cliches like "you can't serve to masters"(which is not addressing this issue), reconcile the fact that the practice of Christianity has been influenced by heathen traditions and pagan kings.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ was given to fulfill the law, re-establish our love connection with the father, others and ourselves. Is this still the purpose, or does God just want us to promote a brand called Christianity?
Doesn't a rose by any other name smell as sweet?
Why has terminology become sacred rather than the mission.

Humanity You Have A Father!
Darwinism is amazing. The thought that chaos can randomly produce a system of order which would spontaneously combust into humanity isn't realistic even by scientific statistics, yet many choose to believe that we don't have a father.
Then there are those who devalue diversity so much that the distinctive male reference of "father" is offensive. They miss the message not realizing that male does NOT inherently devalue female any more than Ying devalues Yang. The reference of God as father is a reference honoring the process of procreation and gives us reference of our spiritual genetics.
We were all created to be God's SONs. Not because God devalues the female gender, but because we possess the potency of our father when (and if) we mature.
Humanity, God is our father. Huemans, Our Father is God.

what's important?
Galatians 5:1-6
1 So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.
2 Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3 I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses. 4 For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.
5 But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us. 6 For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.
