NOTE: This article uses terms like “the Divine”, “God”, and “Church”. Life In The Heart Ministries affirms any term used to point at “Higher Power”, and our terminology does not reflect all those used in our fellowship or any doctrinal bias within our ministry.
1. We believe that a relationship with the Divine is, paradoxically, both entirely personal in its expression and entirely the same in its essence for every individual.
2. We believe that all human experience is invitation into deepening this relationship.
3. We believe that the conscious choice to deepen this relationship is the only true expression of what is referred to as “free will”.
4. We believe the Divine does not obligate us into relationship with it, it only invites us.
5. We believe that anything considered “right” or “good” is an emergent property in consciousness of the moment in which we find ourselves.
6. We believe that the activity of the Divine is, paradoxically, expansive (both inwardly and outwardly) and connective (both inwardly and outwardly), while also remaining perfectly still.
7. We believe the entire manifest world is a finite, temporal-spatial expression of the mysterious activity of the Divine.
8. We believe that God wants you to trust God for God’s own sake, i.e. for the revelation of the Divine in-and-as it’s own Creation and Being.
9. As devotees of the religion of the Heart, we look to the Divine nature immanent and inherent in all things first. This means, in a manner of speaking, that: 1. God is good. 2. The world is good. 3. People are good.
10. Our entire approach can be summarized with one word: trust. Our fellowship of the religion of the Heart can also be thought of as the Church of Trust.
