Recommended: Developing individual spiritual formation

In his book Celebration of Discipline, Richard J. Foster speaks of the importance of having a path to spiritual growth. With that he mentions that there are twelve disciplines (meditation, prayer, fasting, study, simplicity, solitude, submission, service, confession, worship, guidance, and celebration) that lead God’s people closer to him. Each discipline is divided into three groups which are: Inward (meditation, prayer, fasting, and study), Outward (simplicity, solitude, submission, and services), and Corporate (confession, worship, guidance, and celebration). Each discipline shows different ways or steps to become closer to God. The Outward Disciplines show how people can walk with God by helping others, and it makes the world a happier

    Edwards believed that progressive sanctification was made by a vital union as new spiritual principles worked. Believer 's holiness increases in accordance with the guidance of the ‘instructing’ method of the Holy Spirit, working in harmony with the faculties of the believer 's soul. Holiness, which is formed by the progressive sanctification of the believer, is the image of the moral attributes of God and is a derived holiness. Edwards, in particular, divides the content of holiness into three categories: knowledge, holiness, and joy. Edwards ' insight into the content of holiness gives a concrete answer to the question of what sanctification a believer has as a result of progressive sanctification. On the other hand, a believer in the process of progressive sanctification appears to be eschatological tension and actively pursue

  • Explain The Seven Core Components Of A Spiritan School

    Personal development is defined as, “the conscious pursuit of personal growth by expanding self-awareness and knowledge and improving personal skills”. I believe of the Seven Core Components of a Spiritan School, personal development encompasses best what it truly means to be Catholic. The very core idea of being Catholic is always becoming better each and every day, and doing everything it takes in order to do so. This concept of personal development is what it means to be Catholic, and I believe that such a concept encompasses all six of the other Core Components of a Spiritan School. In becoming better people through personal development, we enhance our senses of the other Core Components of a Spiritan School.

  • Reflection Paper On Spiritual Disciplines

    1691 Words  | 4 Pages

    As I reflect on spiritual disciplines it is easy for me to look at them and weed out the ones that I do not think apply to me and the ones that I am drawn towards. But as I press into God and ask him what he sees fit and what I need more of, the picture begins to looks different than what I thought I saw before. Since I am so obviously human, I would rather see my life through a different more accurate lens than one that is tainted and imperfect like those of my human eyes. When I look at my life spiritually it is easy for me to see the spiritual disciplines that just come naturally to me such as worship and service. Since I know that those are areas of my faith that I thrive in, I tend to gravitate towards those to try and satisfy my spiritual life but I leave other parts to suffer. I want to gain better understanding of my faith and ultimately cultivate a deeper relationship with the Father.

  • Spiritual Awakening

    1541 Words  | 4 Pages

    I’d like to state the most obvious observation that I’ve made about spiritual formation; that is that I will always need to be seeking for ways to nurture my personal spirituality throughout my life. I know that to most people this may sound like a “duh” statement, but for me it has truly become a reality and one that I must admit I have been struggling to embrace. I was brought up in a church that, like most traditional churches, stayed happy living in the “comfort zone” of their Christianity. They took everything that the Bible said at face value without digging in to find out why they believed what they believed. I had never been challenged to look deeper into the text. In the past few years I have felt the need to tunnel out of this cave of what I feel is best labeled “Christian ignorance”. In the process though, I have had to come to terms with letting go of the things that brought me comfort and provided me with what I thought it took to have a close relationship with God. Some of those things were tangible. Most were not. The things that were the least tangible actually ended up being the hardest to let go of.

    Balance is key in all aspects of life and for me it is always something I struggle with. School and work seem to take over and I don 't make the necessary time to work out, go out with friends, or spend time with my family. Bowling (2011) asserts that Christian leaders sustain balance by carefully selecting from every option available and that this balance keeps the pressure of success and failure in proper alignment. (Bowling, 2011). Sometimes in life you become overwhelmed and feel as though you are drowning in your work. This I have found is related to improper balance. After reading this chapter I believe there is a way to do all that matters the most to you. In order to be able to maintain a healthy balance between work, family, and God you must determine what is essential and what is not. Bowling describes this by saying, “you must travel light (2011, p.135).” You might not be able to have it all, but you can have all the things and people you can’t live

  • Pastoral Counseling Essay

    1108 Words  | 3 Pages

    The shepherd and sheep relationship is the best illustration for the relationship between pastor and parishioners. When Jesus asked Simon Peter does he love him three times and said to him “Feed my sheep”, the shepherd and flock relationship has been set. Since Jesus is our good shepherd (Jn. 10:11a), he laid out a good example for us to follow - to lay down his life for the sheep. (Jn. 10:11b) Thus, the wellness of both in and out of the parishioners should always be the concern in the pastors’ hearts. Soul care for the people is essential. Christian friendship is the foundation of Christian soul care. Pastoral ministry including preaching, teaching, and worship forms the broad context of pastoral counseling. Pastoral care is within pastoral ministry but broader than pastoral counseling. God’s love is the source and motivation. Within the pastoral care, there are spiritual direction and pastoral

  • My Rule Of Life Essay

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    When Christians first encounter the idea of creating a spiritual discipline, some almost instantly become overwhelmed with anxiety because they must perform well for God to please Him and get to heaven. I was once one of them and to a point, I still think that way. However, the more focus on the relationship with Jesus and nothing else brings about the desires to want more in terms of spiritual growth. Desires however, do not last if disciplines are not met with a genuine commitment to maintain a fervent relationship with Jesus. For my rule of life, I will pencil in daily life disciplines that fit in the season of life that I am in currently so that God can work in me and I can become Christ like. First, I will commit fifteen minutes to daily prayer with God. Second, I will commit fifteen minutes to daily scripture reading. Third, I will commit to lead, encourage and support my wife by living out the vows that we both agreed to with God. Fourth, I will commit myself to my family in raising my two
