The reality of living by faith as though we were already dead, of living by faith in open communion with god, and then stepping back into the external world as though we are already raised from the dead, this is not once for all, it is a matter of moment-by-moment faith, and living moment by moment. this morning's faith will never do for this noon. the faith of this noon will never do for suppertime . the faith of suppertime will never do for the next morning. thank god for the reality for which we were created, a moment-by-moment communication with god himself.

More From Francis Schaeffer

Say thank you! i want to hear you say it now. out loud. 'thank you.' you're saying thank you because your faith is so strong that you don't doubt that whatever the problem, you'll get through it. you're saying thank you because you know that even in the eye of the storm, god has put a rainbow in the clouds. you're saying thank you because you know there's no problem created that can compare to the creator of all things. say thank you!

I know married catholics in a second union who go to church, who go to church once or twice a year and say i want communion, as if joining in communion were an award. it's a work towards integration, all doors are open, but we cannot say, 'from here on they can have communion.'

Our time has been distinguished, more than by anything else, by a mastery, a control, of the external world, and by an almost total forgetfulness of the internal world. if one estimates human evolution from the point of view of knowledge of the external world, then we are in many respects progressing. if our estimate is from the point of view of the internal world, and of oneness of internal and external, then the judgment must be very different.

God Communication Reality
Communication: if i had to pick a first rule of communication-the one practice above all others that opens the door to connecting with others-it would be to look for common ground. too often people see communication as the process of transmitting massive amounts of information to other people. but that's the wrong picture. communication is a journey. the more that people have in common, the better the chance that they can take that journey together.
Communication Journey Doors
The deepest level of communication is not communication, but communion. it is wordless. it is beyond words, and it is beyond speech, and it is beyond concept. not that we discover a new unity. we discover an older unity. my dear brothers [and sisters], we are already one. but we imagine that we are not. and what we have to recover is our original unity. what we have to be is what we are.

I have heard your orators speak on many questions. one among them the so-called vital question of money which is above all things the most coveted commodity but i, as a jainist, in the name of my countrymen and of my country, would offer you as the medium of the most perfect exchange between us, henceforth and forever, the indestructible, the unchangeable, the universal currency of good will and peace, and this, my brothers and sisters, is a currency that is not interchangeable with silver and gold, it is a currency of the heart, of the good life, of the highest estate on the earth.
