The Living Life Series is dedicated to Lord (武天) Bo Tien. The doctrine is in His image. The image is the doctrine. He who sees, understands and effects the doctrine sees and knows Him. He who does not see, know and effect the doctrine sees not and knows not the saint even if the saint or His image is beside him. The far may be near and the near may be far. Let the doctrine and the saint be part of our life. The lord saint in your life can be any heavenly saint of any religion, sect or school. The doctrine of truth is behind all and this is the Inner Truth that leads all (regardless of their religious affliliation or even if none) to inner peace and heaven on earth here and now and not just in the after life. The ideal worship and devotion is to know and effect the doctrine of God and the saints. The best gospel is the gospel of life. We learn from our life and the lives of others. The true temple is the world we live in. The sky is the roof of the temple and religions and sects are the pillars of the temple. All under Heaven are in the temple. The whole wide world and web is the temple and must be regarded as a sacred place --- a temple for living and learning. It is more important that everyone that counts plays a role in this universal temple if due focus is to be given to the Mission of Heaven. Men must not be distracted by the agenda of men and end up serving the mission of man. That would be a far cry from the Mission of Heaven.

Go for the Word and not the religion

Learning Point No 391


Believing in a saint or religion and professing to be a follower of a saint or religion are simply not good enough. 

 What we call ourselves is only good to let men know the religion we are in and what we are likely to do in the name of religion. 

The religion we profess is just a cover. The cover may be attractive but it is the substance or the contents that counts. 

Judge not by the cover and depend not on the beauty and attractiveness of the cover. There is need to go beyond impressions. 

No doubt there may be love or attraction at first sight but what is it that bonds one to spirituality must be beyond the label and cover. There is more to it than meets the eye. 

Go for the substance, the Word or Doctrine. The Word is God. Lord Bo Tien says that those who sees and knows the Word sees and knows the Saint. Those who do not, see not even if he is in the house of the lord. 

Do not be surprise to find men who are like wolves in sheep's clothing in the house of the lord. 

 Be that more discerning and learn from the plus and minus points of men in the house of the lord. 

 Do not denounce for even wolves have their place in the heart of God. Do be emphatic instead. 

Go for the Word and not the religion, not even the saint in that religion or God that is behind all religions. Religion is of men. The Word is of God. 

 Live in the Word and not live for the Word or for God for of what use is your worship of either the Word or God if we live not in the Word. 

 God and saints do not need us to idolise them or the Word. God gives and we must receive. God gives us the Word through saints. 

 The Word is the gift of God. Our best gift to God and saints is to uplift the Word by living in the Word - the gift of God. 

 Go for the Word and not the religion and not the men in religion, not even God and his saints. 

 Then there will be no mistake (a) in idolising God, (b) in worshiping men instead of God and (c) in pitting men against men in name of religion when all religions are one in God.
