Sacred Journey Vol I

Is it possible to ask some seemingly deep and complex questions about the revelations of the Bible and be given answers that remove the mysteries and prove the Bible to be trustworthy?Whether they are questions pertaining to the origin of life or to the nature of God or mans relationship to God can we dare to ask some hard questions and trust the answers to be true? The world asks questions at times seemingly destroying what we believe the Bible declares to be true and leaves us wondering with Pilate what is truth? If the Bible has answers that will strengthen our convictions and move us into a deeper relationship with God wouldnt it be helpful if we knew them?What if we can find extra-biblical sources within the sciences that support the claims made about the content of scripture wouldnt this be worth knowing? When I refer to a Sacred Journey Im not referring to a religious pilgrimage. A religious pilgrimage is very much centered upon the destination more than the journey. Sacred Journeys are those endeavors that involve one or more individuals who are singularly and jointly focused upon a unified discovery of their spiritual purpose and destiny. It is sacred because it involves divine knowledge as well as divine outcomes. It is a journey because it involves and embraces movement and change and it can occupy the entirety of our lives to pursue.Sacred Journeys are not measured by mile markers nor are they to be considered as a collection of accumulated experiences. Certainly time is a factor and along the journey there will be memorable experiences but what makes it sacred is its proximity to a knowledge of the divine. The journey will include an exposure to religious literature. It will ponder moral standards. It will include an examination of social and cultural structures. It will ask questions for the purpose of discovering truth.When I refer to a Sacred Journey Im not referring to a religious pilgrimage.
