A recipe for spiritual disillusionment
Things are gearing up at our church for the fall ministries. Our school started yesterday. Several other of our major ministries are slated to re-launch in the next couple of weeks. Just in case you have a tendency (like lots of people) to evaluate your spiritual progress and effectiveness for God based on inaccurate standards, let me reproduce for you a 5 part recipe for disillusionment that I have borrowed from Patrick Morley of Man in the Mirror ministries. It's reminder of how to keep things in proper perspective as we make our plans and preparations for the ministries ahead. Go with the natural flow of life. Don’t give much thought to knowing Jesus more intimately on a day-to-day basis. Let life’s natural currents take you where they may. Presume that spiritual growth will occur naturally. Don’t expend too much time in reflection; it will give you a headache.
