Wisdom learned from Aldon

What I Believe: The Power of Love
"I believe in God, who made the earth and everything in it. In fact, He made the universe and everything in it. I believe His power is limitless. I believe His power is based on love.
I believe that God's people, at about the time of Jesus, had given up the idea of power being based on love. He was sent as the embodiment of love to get God's people straightened out. The event of the crucifixion and Jesus' acceptance of it was made to demonstrate to the people just how powerful love can be.
There are some things that I don't believe, and one of these is of a church that is designed to control people's minds in other ways than the acts of love. I think it's a pity that there are people who need to be led by people like [that]."
