Many Christians today are deeply wounded by our culture, church failings, family backgrounds, life experiences, and poor or inaccurate Christian teaching. This impacts on their lives deeply, making it difficult to discover a deep, warm, and satisfying love relationship to their God.
If you are Christian, do you find that your efforts to live a Christian life are hampered by the culture in which you live?
Has your family background weakened or strengthened your desire to lead a spiritual life?
Have you had experiences that have arrested your ability to grow in trust in God?
Do you find yourself occasionally thinking that a particular church teaching or religious concept could not possibly be true?
Which of these three events would you regard as most important for the Christian Life?
- The coming down of the Holy Spirit on the apostles in Jerusalem
- The changing of the water into wine at Cana ?
- Jesus washing the feet of his disciples at the last supper.
The Spirit is power to change and renew us. Put the following in order of priority for you and your life at this time
- Your faith in God and God’s love within and around you.
- The quality and depth of your relationships with others.
- Your ability to leave things in God’s hands.
- The grace to be able to pray in a deeper, more meaningful way.
- To forgive myself and others the wrong I have done
- Understanding how I can focus on the future and leave the past behind.
