The Sacred Center



This is the place where your true self dwells in communion with the Holy Spirit

We are caught in a web of deception and selfishness in our worldly false self.  It is only when the Spirit of God wakes us up to our true self that we discover both the beauty of Christ in his humanity and the perfection of Christ in our humanity.  The more one cooperates with the promptings of God's Spirit, the more one discovers their true self and experience a kind of spiritual blossoming.

It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that we become more Christ-like and find that the full life is both fully human and fully spiritual at the same time.  The Holy Spirit makes us face our many illusions and wounded-ness as we bring it all to the foot of the cross.  We become more aware of our transgressions and faults before a Holy God.  We experience the liberating cleansing power of God to free us both of our sins and our bitterness towards others.

God joins together our inner life with our outer life and the two become one and bonded together.  Forgiveness, love, and generosity mark out lives in how we act towards others.  The old prison guards of our soul may be strong but the presence of God's Spirit is stronger to release us from our past and free us for tomorrow.  Christ is our sovereign center.
