Bodily pleasure is not in itself a bad thing. But when it is exalted to a necessity and we become dependent upon it, then we are slaves of our body and its feelings. Only misery lies ahead.

Image
In the area of social righteousness we cannot be right on the inside and not do it. We cannot! Of course we have people who pretend that they can, but it simply isn't true.

The disciple of Jesus is not the deluxe or heavy-duty model of the Christian-especially padded, textured, streamlined, and empowered for the fast lane on the straight and narrow way. He stands on the pages of the New Testament as the first level of basic transportation in the kingdom of God.

In Spiritual formation we are aiming at a character and life that is so shaped that the deeds of Christ routinely and easily come from what is inside.

Image
The core of the person is what he or she loves, and that is bound up with what they worship - that insight recalibrates the radar for cultural analysis. The rituals and practices that form our loves spill out well beyond the sanctuary. Many secular liturgies are trying to get us to love some other kingdom and some other gods.

It's just stunning to watch churches struggle to get mission statements when there it is, the Great Commission, and they should simply do what it says.
Dallas Willard
Image
We know we can't be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.
Dallas Willard
Image
The spirit is the part that is supposed to consciously direct everything in the person, including the soul.

Image
As we mature in Christ, it is actually possible to outgrow fear.

What a child does when not told what to do is the final indicator of what and who that child is.

Image
It would be strange if we came to shun the genuine simply because it resembled the counterfeit.

Everyone gets a spiritual formation. It's like education. Everyone gets an education it's just a matter of which one you get.
