Followers of The Way. That's what early believers called themselves. It was that simple, it was that hard. But it best told the story.
In our sophisticated day and age, we are wary of such simplicity. And yet, life bears stripping down to the bare bones. All truth does. Because the more you elaborate truth, the harder it is to find. And anything that is true can and will come through all stripping.
In our own lives, we do well to find the bare necessities of our belief. Those are the rock bottom pillars that root us in our life. How do we sort through all the doctrine, theology, and ritual that clutter our faith? It is not easy. But daily meditation, daily reflection, daily prayer will show the way.
