160:1.14 In a continually changing world, in the midst of an evolving social order, it is impossible to maintain settled and established goals of destiny. Stability of personality can be experienced only by those who have discovered and embraced the living God as the eternal goal of infinite attainment. And thus to transfer one’s goal from time to eternity, from earth to Paradise, from the human to the divine, requires that man shall become regenerated, converted, be born again; that he shall become the re-created child of the divine spirit; that he shall gain entrance into the brotherhood of the kingdom of heaven. All philosophies and religions which fall short of these ideals are immature. The philosophy which I teach, linked with the gospel which you preach, represents the new religion of maturity, the ideal of all future generations. And this is true because our ideal is final, infallible, eternal, universal, absolute, and infinite.

What’s Ahead
The snow is frozen, all crust like.
The temps did dip throughout the night.
The slushy snow froze where it lay
And now obstructs our walk today.

The crispness of the morning air
Fills our lungs, and gives us flare.
Every day we’re more aware.
Your presence shows You really care.

We must look to see and find
An inner presence that’s Divine!
Life is simpler when we’re blind.
Pretend our lives don’t show You’re kind.

Turn a blind eye unto God?
And yet in life, you try to solve
The question of what life‘s about.
Stop right now. Observe your route!

Take a look at your direction.
Search and look – do your inspection.
What controls how you decide?
You can direct how well you ride.

God’s way ahead might seem too much.
You want a shortcut – way to fudge.
God knows all your thinking habits.
His way is never ever static!

Thank You Father for Your plan.
Someday love will fill this land!
Every day there’s progress made.
There’s more of us. We’ll never fade.

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.
