“I’ve already written one review but after listening to the recent episode with Kangmin Lee I wanted to add something else in hopes that both Kristen and Kangmin will read this review. And if not I hope this quote is life giving to others.
From: The Spirit of Disciplines by Dallas Willard
Spirituality is a matter of another reality. It is absolutely indispensable to keep before us the fact that it is not a “commitment” and it is not a “life-style”, even though a commitment and life-style will come from it. Above all it is not a social or political stance. It is, today, in great danger of being “politicized”. Seeing Jesus’ power, those around him naturally tried to set up a government with him as the “king”. But the essence and aim of spirituality is not to correct social and political injustices. Those who worry that unless we act against authority structures our spirituality will accomplish nothing simply do not understand what spirituality is. On the other hand, the authorities will always find the spirituality of Jesus and his followers impossible to deal with, for it stands beyond their manipulation and control.”
