The Harder You Strike It, The Deeper

Spiritual Formation Is For Everyone. Just As There Is An 'outer You' That Is Being Formed And Shaped All The Time, Like It Or Not, By Accident Or On Purpose, So There Is An 'inner You.' You Have A Spirit. And It's Constantly Being Shaped And Tugged At: By What You Hear And Watch And Say And Read And Think And Experience.

Going In Faith Does Not Necessarily Mean Going With Serenity Or Without Doubts. Faith Can Be Difficult.

I Hate How Hard Spiritual Transformation Is And How Long It Takes. I Hate Thinking About How Many People Have Gone To Church For Decades And Remain Joyless Or Judgmental Or Bitter Or Superior.

Both Hope And Pessimism Are Deeply Contagious. And No One Is More Infectious Than A Leader.

Nobody Lives Up To The Norms That God Had In Mind When He First Created Human Beings.
