195:10.18 Christianity is an extemporized religion, and therefore must it operate in low gear. High-gear spiritual performances must await the new revelation and the more general acceptance of the real religion of Jesus. But Christianity is a mighty religion, seeing that the commonplace disciples of a crucified carpenter set in motion those teachings which conquered the Roman world in three hundred years and then went on to triumph over the barbarians who overthrew Rome. This same Christianity conquered – absorbed and exalted – the whole stream of Hebrew theology and Greek philosophy. And then, when this Christian religion became comatose for more than a thousand years as a result of an overdose of mysteries and paganism, it resurrected itself and virtually reconquered the whole Western world. Christianity contains enough of Jesus’ teachings to immortalize it.

God’s Gear
I slept in. The night was short.
Stayed up too late, that’s why of course.
But now I’m up and greet the day.
I’ll do my best to make my way

After I have read from You,
I pray to what’s inside, then do.
As I think the path is best.
That’s my choice upon this test.

Mistakes are made at every moment
By everyone, we are components
Of potential perfect people.
Spiritually, we all are equal!

As I go about today
I look around at what’s displayed.
Seeing the people as I pass by
And understanding when I try!

So then, if you do understand.
You’ll see much good is in demand!
As time flows and you pass by
Much can be done if you just try.

Habits developed when eyes were closed,
Must change when what results is shown.
Changing habits is not easy.
But one then sees how they’ve been creepy.

Thank You, Father, throughout this day.
I’ll walk the path — the better way.
I’ll do my best to see and hear
And put myself into Your gear.
