OUR SPIRITUAL MUDDLE

FWR asks:  Why are we all in a spiritual muddle?

The family is surrounded by 57 varieties of religion.  There is little evidence these religions are helping children to do better.

Why the muddle?  All these religions have their own rules, beliefs and routines.  Who knows who has it right?  Since they all think they have it right, Joe and his family haven’t the time or interest to figure them out.

Many of these religions have their big, life-giving message buried in a complicated clutter.  So, their focus is on their own beliefs - words, routines and structures.  This can’t help Joe answer faith’s big question:

                  “What’s it all about?”

Joe doesn’t need another religion.  He needs a faith for his family.  Soon his young ones will go out into this muddled world.  At the very least they need to know what their family believes.

FWR Says:  Joe and the family should decide together “What’s it all about”
