Experiential Discipleship

This article is beautifully written, from the title to the author's min-bio a the bottom. Worth every second of the read.

I pray for the grace to live this.

"They believe this list of facts, then they work the rest of their lives trying to do things to prove that God is real and true, the same way they know it with their minds."

"I wonder what would happen if our list of facts, or our systematic theology actually came from the truth of the Spirit working in our lives and seeking what the Word of God says about himself. If we allowed this sort of patience and long-suffering to happen, we’d truly experience God for he is and what he’s done in our world and in our lives."

The End of Novelty, or an Introduction

In fact, these posts were once emails. But since new friends now take interest in old adventures, and old friends may, I fear, be losing interest in my new adventures, I decided to post my previous emails, and all future updates, on a blog*.

So I offer you the shotgun seat in my God-given chariot, to ride along as I go where I did not expect to go and find whatever waits there. This is the story of my recovery from myself, and my attempt to lose my life thereafter. Hopefully it's not a story about me at all; at least, increasingly not. Read, ask, enjoy. I pray that these stories might draw you in to the same God for which my chariot plays such a very small role. But a joyful role, indeed.
