On Spiritual Transformation
Here's a video I made for the online Spiritual Formation Class I'm teaching for Wesley Seminary.
If This Is Not A Place. . .
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
The analogies can be translated very well for young Christians and seasoned ones alike. It is awesome the gift God has given you to demonstrate visual illustrations for all, to not only understand, but to then know it in a whole new way and apply it. Praise Jesus for His illustrations to grow from, and His Holy Spirit! Time to fill up!
