It’s interesting how many traditions (pause) When you read the great enlightened ones; meditation, centering prayer, reflection—in every tradition you can find the mystics—and what’s always at the heart of the spiritual lives, the everyday lives of the great ones was always a period of time. Whether it’s prayers, chanting, meditation, reflection, study—whatever you call it—what [...]

It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.
(1 Corinthians 5:1)
The period in which we now live may well go down in history as the Erotic Age. Sex love has been elevated into a [...]

The approbation of your fellow men you must not look upon as being the reward of excellence, for often you will meet with the reverse; you will find your best actions misconstrued and your motives ill interpreted. To be despised and rejected of men is the Christian’s lot.
Among his fellow Christians he will not always stand [...]

Jesus says, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” And one of His wise, old minsters once said, “The Bible sure does shed an awful lot of light upon those ol’ Bible commentaries.”

This following subjective spiritual babble from Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster is not evangelical Christianity but yet this is the man your pastors turn to for their “Protestant” Spiritual Formation. Better wake up soon…

To be entirely safe from the devil’s snares the man of God must be completely obedient to the Word of the Lord. The driver on the highway is safe, not when he reads the signs but when he obeys them.
A.W. Tozer, That Incredible Christian, 51

To be a Christian is to be a warrior. The good soldier of Jesus Christ must not expect to find ease in this world: it is a battle-field. Neither must he reckon upon the friendship of the world; for that would be enmity against God. His occupation is war. As he puts on piece by [...]

Legalism is but the human cry for personal autonomy. Doing things our way as distinct from trusting God’s power is illustrated just as clearly in modern evangelicalism as it is in the narrative of the wilderness wanderings. The inclination toward self-righteousness is thus not a unique Jewish problem: it is endemic to the human condition, [...]

(1) Don’t be distracted from your ministry to submerse yourself in bad doctrine and theology. Remember that bad theological company corrupts good theology.
