Response to those who think my writings are “new age”.
Too good not to share!

Frank Johnson:
“I’ve experienced the “New Age” response far too many times. This is apparently the ‘go-to’ response that pastors will tell people when they don’t know what else to say. How quickly we seem to forget that Jesus was so radical in his day (in his spirituality), that he was called every name in the book, and then some. How do you tactfully explain to people, with an Old Testament mindset of blood sacrifice, etc., that most everything they have believed was wrong? The Christian church is no different. Instead of showing people how to awaken within to the Christ of their being, we hand them a bible and tell them to study. The mind then assumes an understanding, while within, there is no inner awakening or realization of the truth of our being. All we have done is to become an Old Testament church with a new vocabulary.”
