My friend Becky shared this quote with me:
“Many of us want a “spiritual” journey… but we don’t want a faith
journey – a journey that requires us to risk anything or to move beyond
the (mostly) comfortable existence we have carved out for ourselves.”
~ Ruth Haley Barton
I’ve been chewing on that for a couple of weeks.
What do you think? Is she right?
A faith journey will require some action on our part. For myself I am on a faith journey, I hunger for everything I can learn by surrounding myself with devotionals, Christian music, listening to Christian speakers so that I can challenge myself to a new level in Christ otherwise I would remain in a spiritual journey. It does take effort but we are naturally creatures of habit.
