Imagine a world where we all have deep convictions and beliefs that create a sense of need to correct each other because we thing it is about right or wrong. Imagine the right wrong agenda that feeds competitiveness yielding to what we all believe in as compassion. Imagine a world where a statement of what we believe about God and the future is not replaced but subject to a Statement of Beliefs that are about a renewed sense of holiness and healthiness:
Our Statement of Faith: Not a particular faith but the faith that sees what no one else sees:
We believe that God is the courageous creator of the world as we know it and remains a calm and compassionate toward that world regardless of anything.
We believe in God the creator of everything and that everything as created is "very good"(Genesis 1:31). That while creation is intentionally created replete with opposites like light and dark, all those opposites are not designed to create oppositional tension or conflict but reciprocal balance and harmony in the solar system of ideas thoughts and all created things.
We believe that all conflict is an intentional invitation to expand our universe to be inclusive and in harmony with all things and people in the balance of opposites through appreciation and understanding.
About Me
- Don Paine
- I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.
