Over the past several days, Iāve been reading/skimming the Catholic Bible. Just yesterday I reached Isaiah. Doing such has only increased my certainty that Christ, not the Bible, is the Word of God. Iām looking forward to finishing the Tanakh and starting the Gospels.

I love the silence of Quaker worship, but part of me would also love to belong to a religious community with a pastor like Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Iāve actually already read ~75% of whatās included here - the Journals of George Fox and John Woolman, the writings of Thomas Kelly, and some of the writings of Rufus Jones. May skim over all that. Really just here for the epistles of George Fox & the letters of Isaac Penington.

Even though I got a lot of physical rest, Iāve felt mentally and spiritually exhausted all day. I woke up feeling fed up with many aspects of my faith and feeling angry and depressed with this sickness my dad is suffering from. This song is speaking to my condition today.

The single greatest threat to Christianity in the world isnāt secularism or atheism. It is Christians contradicting Jesus by justifying evil, moral depravity, greed, selfishness, arrogance, hatred, and even the use of violence in the name of preserving Christianity.

Tbh Iāve not been feeling very Wilburite lately. Iām caring less about plain dress. I still refuse to wear shirts w collars or brand names, but I prefer t-shirts. Iām even finding it difficult to maintain a distinctly Christian faith - I love the teachings of Christ, but idk about the theology.

ā[As] far as he succeeded in cutting the bonds which bound him to his fellows he found himself shrinking and shriveling like a severed branch.ā This text from Rufus Jones speaks to my condition. I find God so much more in community than in solitude.
