Both Leslie and I will be using this blog to share our perspectives on faith. By virtue of our gifting I will share comments about world view, culture and scripture while Leslie will focus on spiritual formation, meditation and contemplation. She will also do some devotional writing. We will sign our posts so that it will not be confusing.
I am a reluctant web person. I traditionally have little to do with Facebook, blogs or online media. I am instead more of a doer. I tend to be active either working with people medically or in regard to their faith. However, as I have looked around me and observed the general state of affairs over the last decade or so I have become aware of trends that are of concern to me and, I believe, to all of those who follow Christ and seek the Kingdom of God. Many of the changes were the result of secularism but many also were the result of the general decrease in Biblical knowledge and a loss of a Biblical world view. I want to take some time to look at the culture we live in and to examine it more carefully than is often done. What I am suggesting is that what we really believe does matter. I will be sharing brief articles that I hope will be an encouragement to those who seek a Biblical world view to carry them through the culture. As I enter this journey I hope to learn from each person that has opportunity to read and comment on my thoughts. Lee
I have a passion to see God's children, especially his daughters, come to know and experience the unconditional love and acceptance of God so that they can live the life that God intended them to live- to thrive, to be satisfied with who they are, and to fulfill their God-given destiny. What causes some people to change inwardly, to be transformed in Christ and why is it that others never really experience significant change at all? How are people transformed in Christ? These questions have encouraged me to read and learn more about neuroscience (study of the nervous system) and how we as humans have the ability to rewire our brains in order to live differently if we so desire- to live happy, fruitful lives in Christ.
Stay tuned for more on this topic as it relates to spiritual formation. Leslie
