A map tells you how to get somewhere you say you want to go. It can be on paper or on computer with AI. You would think it silly if someone got the instructions in detail and then set out without following the instructions exactly. “I got this figured out,” says the ego. I know about where to go! So what good is a recovery program if you are not willing to follow the directions exactly. Religion says, “Do this and you will live.” AA says it for its own twelve steps. Not six or seven you like, but all twelve. The Ten Commandments are Ten and Six. And so on. I have found that following directions gets me there sooner and with less hassle.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
