The Middle Road

We are in a battle. We are in a contest. We are in a war. This is serious. This is for real. There are things that we need to do. There are people that need help. There are things that must be done. There are people that must be reached. There is no time to relax, no time to sit still, no time to waste. There are things to do and people to help in this fight against the devil and fight for the truth of God’s love. We cannot waste time. We must all work together, believe together, love together, and be together in this fight and in this cause. Therefore, in order for us to have the success that we need – we must find our Middle Road.

The Middle Road. What is that? It is the path that we can all tread on together. In the midst of changes of thought, in the midst of the old ways vs. the new ways, in the midst of innovative spiritual development and emerging means of grace – the Middle Road is a place where we can all come together. Because we need each other. We need to help each other. We need to work with each other if we are going to have the success that we all desire. Also, we are too smart to box ourselves into a corner with our faith and beliefs. We are too wise to completely shut each other out based on technicalities. We are too loving not to give each other a chance and give each other a break. We are too smart for all of that, and we need each other. Where can we meet? We can meet on the Middle Road.

The Middle Road. The place where we can all come together. The path where all of our different opinions can meet together. The road where we can all join together in this fight and for this faith cause. Beliefs, thoughts, denominations, generations – no matter what it is, we have to combine on this Middle Road…because there is a lot that needs to be done…and it is going to take all of us.
