How do we stop white-knuckling it in the spiritual life. And like David, see our negative destructive feelings crucified on the cross, replaced by feelings which reflect Jesus? To cultivate a life which doesn’t just avoid sin, but avoids temptation all together with a glad heart? 

We begin now looking at how spiritual formation affects change in the 6 different aspects of humanity. We begin this week looking at Thought, and specifically the Ideas & Images which govern us. Are they from God, or do they originate from unredeemed Humanity? 

In the midst of a shallow Christian culture which is sometimes a mile wide & an inch deep we witness the failure of leaders & others across the board. This lulls us into thinking we cannot ever see true spiritual transformation, but we can. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Paul preached & lived it out, and calls just to emulate him in that journey of becoming like Christ. 

God’s been revealing himself to all peoples throughout history. The stories are plentiful. But people don’t always listen. Jesus was trying to tell them something on Palm Sunday as he rode into town on the back of a donkey. Some listened. Some didn’t. Will we?
