Many people are yearning for the extraordinary when it comes to
their spiritual relationship. If we would excel at being ordinary in our
spiritual relationship with God, that in itself would be extraordinary, and the
ordinary would be realized as extraordinary by the community of
humanity.
The ordinary that would be viewed as extraordinary by the
community of humanity is:
Judging and condemning would be replaced by loving and
forgiving.
Religious people's involvement with their own sect would be
replaced by involvement with the community of
humanity.
The submission to religious authority that religion has on the
community of believers would be replaced by submission to Jesus as the Head of
His community of the redeemed.
Segregation of Christ's body in denominated buildings called
church would be replaced by unification of Christ's body as the community of the
redeemed known as The Church.
The misuse and abuse of the bible used as a rule book for
religious living would cease and the bible would be a love book that points us
to Jesus for relationship living.
The priesthood of the religious hierarchy would be replaced by
the priesthood of all members of the community of the
redeemed.
The mixture of the law and grace gospel of religion would be
replaced by the pure grace gospel that Jesus gave to Paul.
The bondage of religion would be replaced by the freedom that
is in Christ.
This would move believers from what is spiritually sub-ordinary
to what is spiritually ordinary, that would seem to be spiritually extraordinary
not only for the community of humanity but also for the community of the
redeemed.
