The Making of the Christian - Dallas Willard & Richard Foster
What is the difference between discipleship and spiritual formation?
Here is an intriguing article that will stimulate you to think about the distinctions between the church, the gospel, and social justice. I hope that it compels you to rise above the current language that minimalizes the person of Christ while deifying the actions of main. There is more to our spiritual morphing (2 Cor. 3:18) than the 3 Gospels:
1) Forgiveness of sins
2) Churchmanship
3) Social Action
No Christian is an island. We desperately need the Holy Spirit and one another to achieve the GOAL = Character Formation! Or in other words, God's holiness being embued in us and birthing mission out of us into a needy world.
Otherwise, we will be left with stupid pastors who rant about holiness at staff meetings!!
Wrestle well friends . . .
