One With The Spirit In A Christian Church

By Rebecca Fox


The universe is vast. The majority of it cannot be comprehended by the naked eye and especially not while standing on a single planet. But in that vastness is power, and in that power, human being find meaning. Now, this meaning can be discerned in Christian church Wichita KS.

People worship for a multitude of reasons. For some, it is a habit, something their parents and surrounding community instilled in them at a young age and something they brought with them all their lives. Other believe that they may have experienced something spiritual, something that confirms the existence of their deity of choice. Others simply have heartfelt beliefs and wish to express those beliefs.

Throughout history, religion has shaped the world. It was in its name, under the banner of the cross, that many countries went out and colonized other countries. Faith was also the foundation of many monarchies, with spiritual leaders often wielding the same level or even greater levels of power than a monarch.

Christianity is the most widely practiced religion in the world. It is monotheistic, which means that it believes in a single supreme being who created the entirety of the universe and beyond. Now, it traces its roots back to a desert carpenter wandering around what is now called the Middle East and spreading a gospel of not being dicks to each other and helping the poor. It is a direct descendant of another monotheistic faith from the Middle East, Judaism.

A church is a building. It is where the worship generally happens. They can ranger from unassuming buildings that look almost like houses to Gothic cathedrals that would put many palaces to shame, especially in the largest sect, which has its own nation state.

There are many different sects of Christianity. The most prominent one is Catholicism, which is also the only one with own nation state. Now, this is the branch that can trace its rooms back to the original disciples of the carpenter in the desert.

Each branch of the religion is going to have different focuses on the gospels left behind by the founder and the original disciples. However, across all of them will be the belief in a supreme being, the divinity of the carpenter, and the spreading of love, as love was the original message. Some will have a greater emphasis on punishing the guilty whereas others will focus greatly on reconciliation and forgiveness.

The reality is that there are unscrupulous individuals out there who look to take advantage of the religious beliefs that people may hold. Many of them will often ask for money and say that the deity they all worship says that the parishioners have to give it to the preacher in order to spread the message. Oddly enough, these preachers seem to forget that the carpenter whose footsteps they follow in often walked the desert on feet covered in nothing but simple sandals.

People worship. Religion is a part of society. There are churches for that worship.
