And We're Off...

We had our first study in the new book, Simplifying Your Spiritual Life, and are ready for the next!  Here is a brief summary of the chapters that we covered:  We cannot simplify our spiritual lives, unless we have spiritual lives.  We need to know Christ, know the gospel and be a child of God, before we will have any success pursuing the spiritual disciplines.  In these chapters we were also given a definition of "spiritual", which was foundational to our study through this book.  Here it is:  The pursuit of God and the things of God, through Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, in accordance with God's self-revelation (that is,the Bible).
