If we want to experience "shalom" we must do all we can to position ourselves to experience this reality. It is from such a posture that God "shows up..." thanks!

The term heresy is often perceived as a value judgment and the expression of a view from within an established belief system. I have a lot of views that are considered heretical by the established religions. But they are probably more in line with the Real Truth as I like to put it. Letting others take control of my brain is something I will not do. I believe in critical thinking and question, question, question. “The word “heresy” comes from the Greek hairetikos “able to choose” (haireisthai “to choose”).

What I'm speaking of is much more the inward connection with the Great as opposed to the outward works. timmyjimi, my point might not be obvious enough, but I admit its not necessarily plain words.

Of course, we need God's help to do those things. The Lord's Prayer says "deliver us from temptation," but Paul writes "work out your own salvation." Expecting God to do everything for us is a dangerous proposition. On the other hand, you say you're "not talking about love," so maybe I'm missing your point?

The Sahara, for instance, seems to have been pulverized over time, until the dust is so fine the slightest breeze sweeps it straight into your eyes, until it creeps through the cracks of buildings and all the dishes are set on the table upside down until the last moment. And the brightness washes everything out until the sky and the sand seem one endless orb, an undulating plate of white covered with an overturned bowl of white.
