Years ago I heard someone say that a pastor is someone who helps others transition from one spiritual level to the next. I knew that this is what I want to do. Of course, what he had in mind was helping people move from an immature evangelical theology and lifestyle to a more mature evangelical theology and lifestyle. That’s not what I have in mind. “Spirituality” has become a difficult word because it travels with all kinds of assortments of... Read more

Abraham’s primitive spirituality was radically different than Moses’ deliverance spirituality. But then Moses’ spirituality was radically different than Samuel’s prophetic spirituality. And Samuel’s spirituality certainly looked a lot different than David’s earthy spirituality. And David’s spirituality looked a lot different than Jeremiah’s sorrowful spirituality.

Is it possible for a community to be completely free of vision? I’m not sure. I tried. I had to quit... Read more
We only see things we recognize. To “recognize” means to “know again”. If we see something we don’t recognize, our brains scramble to fit what we see into a construct so that it can be perceived and understood. Our brains rush to conjoin pieces of knowledge to determine what this is we don’t recognize. It will not rest until it has a definition by which to grasp this new thing. So the order always is that the brain constructs the... Read more
