Spirituality In today's pop culture and post modern church era, it seem Christianity is going to a different direction than the original intention of the founder the Lord Jesus Christ would be. Many evangelicals churches and pastors all around the world in our present generations have followed seducing spirits which are forbidden by the Lord Jesus Christ himself. If you are familiar with contemplative prayers, spiritual formation, spritual discipline, and emergent church then this will not surprised you at all. But if you are not familiar of these school of thoughts then you should be aware that these spirituality were not from God, but from the pit of hell itself. We know from Biblical stand point that the only spiriuality we need is the Holy Spirit residing in us. We don't need other forms of spirituality to be closer to the Lord Jesus Christ other than the Comforter (Holy Spirit) which is in us the moment we recieved the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior. The Holy Spirit indeed is the one who will teach us the Bible, and how to live as believers in Christ Jesus. We don't need some other teaching such as spiritual formations or spiritual discipline to be closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. When we recieved the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, we are sanctified, or set apart unto God. No need to have other spirituality, for the Holy Spirit Himself is in us, living in us as our spiritual guide. Yes we are not going to feel, touch or go to a higher trance to know that the Holy Spirit is in us, for the Bible teaches that we are going to live by faith. By faith in who, or what? By faith in Christ Jesus. ''For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith; The just shall love by faith.'' (Romans 1:17 kjv). |
