Oakwood University Week 6 Biblical Foundations a Balanced Inner Life Discussion

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” (James 1:5, King James Version).

“Many people believe that to live a truly spiritual life, you need to live in seclusion; where the realities of life are either ignored or forgotten. However, the lessons Jesus taught along the dusty roads of Palestine were very spiritual, yet essentially practical. For Him, everything – every thought and deed – was an expression of His relationship with His heavenly Father. Therefore, true Christians do not divide their lives into compartments, because all of their lives should be an expression of the spiritual. Christianity touches the realities of every day and enables you to look, to a certain extent, at other people’s problems as God does” (Christian Art Gifts, May 10).
