We hope you will join us online this Sunday at 10:00 a.m. (Zoom will be used after the main service on Sundays, for a time to connect and have a virtual “Coffee Hour.”)

Points to Remember for Sunday July 12, 2020

My Way – or – A Higher Way
Whenever we face obstacles in life, we always have a choice:  We can be blocked by them, be stopped in our tracks. Or, we can use them as stepping stones to a Higher Way of expressing our Divinity.
Jesus taught: “Love Your enemies,”
… because He knew the healing, harmonizing power of Love transforms and draws together. He knew that by choosing Love, we align with a Higher Will or a Higher Way of being not directed by the Victim/Victor consciousness or need for control.
Ernest Holmes writes:
 “Will is the conscious, directive power of the intellect and, as such, has a very important place in the creative order, but in no case is it to be used as though it could FORCE things to happen.  … using the will to influence people is a mistake.  The temporary effects of [this type of] will power continue only so long as the will forces them to.  They have no real life within themselves and must disintegrate as soon as the unnatural force is withdrawn.
Ryan Holiday, author of The Obstacle is the Way:
 “… the will has a lot more to do with surrender than with strength.  True will is quiet humility, resilience, and flexibility; the other kind of will is weakness disguised as bluster and ambition
Charles Fillmore, The Twelve Powers of Man, p 105:
 “It is possible … for man so to identify his consciousness with Divine Mind that he is moved in every thought and act by that Mind. Jesus attained this unity; when He realized that He was willing not in the personal but in the divine, He said: “Not my will, but thine, be done.”
Jesus surrenders to a Higher Way, to God Within.
Choosing a Higher Way is to Surrender the All Goodness of Life. It is to Surrender the need to control, the need to overcome, and even the need to KNOW exactly what will to unfold or how it will unfold.
Surrendering is KNOWING that God Knows and that we are assured that
ALL things come together for our Good.
