Special Edition on Revelation Revealed topic 7 (personal religion)

SECULARISM AND MATERIALISM ARE DEADLY DISEASES, and personal religion will undoubtedly make major contributions to the antidotes that humanity will develop. Jesus describes personal religion as “that most thrilling and inspiring of all possible human experiences: the personal quest for truth, the exhilaration of facing the perils of intellectual discovery, the determination to explore the realities of personal religious experience …  The religion of the spirit means effort, struggle, conflict, faith determination, love, loyalty, and progress”  [the Midwayer Commission, 1729:5-6 / 155:5.10-11]. During the next few generations and centuries, humanity must also confront the formidable challenge that a Divine Counselor identifies: “The religious challenge of this age is to those farseeing and forward-looking men and women of spiritual insight who will dare to construct a new and appealing philosophy of living out of the enlarged and exquisitely integrated modern concepts of cosmic truth, universe beauty, and divine goodness” [a Divine Counselor, 43:3 / 2:7.10].
