And through a dark night of the soul, i came to realize that salvation happens through a mysterious, indefinable, relational interaction with jesus in which we become one with him. i realized christian conversion worked more like falling in love than understanding a series of concepts of ideas. this is not to say there are no true ideas, it is only to say there is something else, something beyond.

More From Donald Miller

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.
Christian Religious Freedom
To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).
Jesus Character Mean
Notable enough, however, are the controversies over the series 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - ... whose sum was given by leibniz as 1/2, although others disagree. ... understanding of this question is to be sought in the word "sum"; this idea, if thus conceived - namely, the sum of a series is said to be that quantity to which it is brought closer as more terms of the series are taken - has relevance only for convergent series, and we should in general give up the idea of sum for divergent series.

The leaves are falling, falling as from way off, as though far gardens withered in the skies; they are falling with denying gestures. and in the nights the heavy earth is falling from all the stars down into loneliness. we all are falling. this hand falls. and look at others: it is in them all. and yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands.
Stars Loneliness Fall
Jesus went into the temple and boldly drove out those that bought and sold. and when all was cleared, there was nobody left but jesus. observe this, for it is the same with us: when he is alone he is able to speak in the temple of the soul. if anyone else is speaking in the temple of your soul, jesus will keep still, as if he were not at home. and he is not at home wherever there are strange guests-guests with whom the soul holds conversation, guests who are seeking to bargain. if jesus is to speak and be heard, the soul must be alone and quiet.
Jesus Home Soul
Surely conversion is a matter between man and his maker who alone knows his creatures' hearts. a conversion without a clean heart is, in my opinion, a denial of god and religion. conversion without cleanliness of heart can only be a matter of sorrow, not joy, to a godly person.
