Christian Spirituality: Some beginning points of what Christian spirituality looks like

· Intimacy with God · Walking by the Spirit of God · A transformed mind · Not conformed to this world · Living with wild-abandon to God · Following the leader—Jesus · Not fulfilling the lust of the flesh · Dying to self · Seizing the divine moment · Loving God · Living God's adventure · Loving our neighbors · Hating sin · Hanging out with and loving sinners · Caring for the world and Earth · Meditating on God's word · Spending, even "wasting" time with God · Obeying God's word · Disciplined · Not domesticated · Wild as John the Baptist or Peter · As peaceful as Mary · Leaning on God's breast like John · Praying without ceasing · Not caring what people think of us, if it is to serve God's glory · Caring what people think of us, as it affects God's glory · Not Democratic · Not Republican · Perhaps a Demo-publican · A peacemaker · Not a warmonger · Standing against unrighteousness · Standing with the disenfranchised · Loving God with your whole being, all that you have, all you can be or will have ——— Darryl Wooldridge, August 2005
