The Fruit of the Spirit Brings Reconciliation

To reconcile means “to cause to coexist in harmony; make or show to be compatible.” If we are to coexist in harmony with each other, we must walk in the Spirit so that we do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. The flesh wants to be in control. This leads to many people being incompatible. But there is a solution: the fruit of the Spirit.

The Ministry of RECONCILIATION

As I was doing research for this article, the following words written by Rev. Brian A. Tillman, chair of the Commission on Religion and Race in the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church, leaped off the page as I was reading. “Reconciliation is not something we hold hands and pray for God to do — no Kumbaya. It is work that God has given to us to do.”1 This quote is instructive as we seek to understand what it means to engage in the ministry of reconciliation, particularly against the backdrop of the current global protests against racial injustice. Reconciliation is the work of the church.

PENTECOST Reconciles

I know a man whose family moved to the United States from South Korea when he was elementary school age. He has vivid memories of feeling as if something had been torn away; an abrupt disconnection from the culture he loved and the life that made sense to him. He was replanted in a country, neighborhood, and school where everyone spoke a language he had not mastered. He was harassed and mistreated by the other children because he didn’t look like them.

I JUST WANT TO BE SEEN

Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’” (John 14:5–9 NJKV).

The Speed of Our Age

NOW THAT WE’VE BEEN forced to stop, it’s easier to see how speed thwarts us. For when we become entranced with how quickly things move, we stop listening to what matters. This is how worry feeds itself, how it fills us with psychic noise.

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. The facts: It’s the deadliest gynecological cancer. There is no screening test. Symptoms (if any) are usually vague and easily dismissible, so ovarian cancer often goes undetected in its early stages.

THE HEARTFUL STRATEGIST PART 6

In the previous five articles of this series, RAVI VENKATESAN introduced the Heartful Strategist framework, how our consciousness results in the strategies we adopt, and the choices we make, which in turn have consequences that impact the ecosystem in which we exist. He also explored the concept of thought patterns, and in the last article how past impressions create these tendencies or thought patterns in us. He reviewed the Heartfulness technique of Cleaning, which uses the power of auto suggestion or self-suggestion to clear past impressions and make positive shifts to our thought patterns. In this article he dives specifically into the ideal level of consciousness for a Heartful Strategist.
