An Invitation to Spiritual Transformation

O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; My flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your name.

Psalm 63: 1-4

Spiritual journey

Gone are the days when we can count on doing what was always done in the church and get the same results. Long gone. People want more than “Just to go to church.” People want to know that they are different, somehow, after they worship than before they walked through the sanctuary doors. They want to know that they will encounter God and be changed.

Granted, worship is a 2-way street and not a spectator sport. God is everywhere and can be encountered everywhere by everyone. But. . .

There is a deep yearning among people who want to know God more deeply and personally. They want to feel God’s Holy Spirit within them guiding and empowering them in their everyday life. And they want to know how to grow in their faith.

In my readings and spirituality workshops I have attended, I have discovered that people, both churched and unchurched, are more spiritual than ever before. People are hungry and thirsty for the power and glory and steadfast love of God in their life, but don’t know how to get there.
