A religious mind strives to prove a point; the mind of Christ seeks only to “do the will of My Heavenly Father”. Deception is often found in what seems to vindicate and promote self; but truth always enlightens (exposes and confirms) the living reality of God and invites us to imitate the mind (wisdom) and heart (love) of Christ.
Indeed our Heavenly Father is the God to the living, not the dead.
“Let the dead bury the dead”. And let us live in and with His abundance-peace, joy and righteousness in and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
