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
