A beautiful mansion.
A dramatic gorge.
An impossible crossing.
Standing at Cilgerran Castle, you can see Coedmore Mansion across the gorge - picturesque, elegant, carefully designed.
But between them?
A chasm you can’t cross without ropes.
Many of us live with gorges like that.
Relationships that feel strained.
Effort that doesn’t seem to land.
Doing everything “right” - and somehow still getting it wrong.
In Book of Revelation 2, Jesus speaks to the church in Ephesus:
They were doctrinally sharp.
Morally serious.
Hard-working.
And yet:
“You have abandoned the love you had at first.”
That’s the shock.
Christian faith isn’t sustained by rule-keeping.
It begins with relationship.
With love.
With living attachment.
Legalism says: perform.
Love says: treasure, forgive, stay close.
When love cools, obedience becomes mechanical.
Mechanical obedience becomes hollow.
And hollow faith eventually fades.
Christianity is not a compliance system.
It is a covenant relationship.
And when love is replaced by duty, gorges open.
