SUMMARY
Editor's Notes
Peter Scazzeroskryf: Angela: in explaining why she had not attended church for over five years, asked me privately “Why is that so many Christians make such lousy human beings?” Ron the brother of a member of the small group that meets in our home, upon hearing the title of this book, laughed: “Emoptional healthy spirituality? Isn’t that a contradiction?”DIE PROBLEEM IS DAT DIE NIE IS… Onskan maar net na Saul se lewekykomietsddarvanteverstaan:Lees 1 Sam 15:17; 23; 27; 30; 35!; 1 Sam 18:12 Bang virDawid… 1 Sam 31:4 – saulneemsyeielewe..

Onsmoetaan die SONDIGE sterf.Verdeelonslewe in Geestelik en alledaagsFrank attends church and sings about God’s love.On the way home he pronounces the death penalty over another driver. For Frank Sunday church is for God. Monday to Saturday is for work.Jane yells at her husband, berating him for his lack of spiritual leadership with the children. He walks away deflated and crushed. Shewalks away convinced she has fought valiantly in God’s name.Ken has a disciplined devotional time with God each day before going to work, but then does not think of God’s presence with him allthrough the day at work or when he returns home to be with his wife and children.Judith cries during songs about the love and grace of God at her church. But she regularly complains and blames others for the difficulties and trials in her life.It is so easy to compartmentalize God to “Christian activities” around church and our spiritual disciplines without thinking of him inour marriages, the disciplining of our children, the spending of our money, our recreation, or even our studying for exams. According toGallup polls and sociologists, one of the greatest scandals of our day isthat “evangelical Christians are as likely to embrace lifestyles every bit as hedonistic, materialistic, self-centered and sexually immoral as the world in general.” The statistics are devastating:• Church members divorce their spouses as often as their secular neighbors.• Church members beat their wives as often as their neighbors.• Church members’ giving patterns indicate they are almost as materialistic as non-Christians.• White evangelicals are the most likely people to object to neighbors of another race.OORDEEL OOR ANDER DIT word onsteenoor “hulle”Ons skep groepe en oordeeloorhulle: Daaiklompmusikante en kunstenaar – hulle is so temperementeel.Mans is idiote – sosialeanalfabete; Vroueiroorsensitief en emosioneel.Daaiklomp is arm omdathullelui is.

Jesus het emoiesgehad het onslaasweekgesê…SKETSThe way I thought my spiritual life should head down the tracks began with the engine, where the driver of the train was fact—what God said in Scripture. If I felt angry, for example, I needed to start with fact: “What are you angry about, Pete? So this person lied to you and cheated you. God is on the throne. Jesus was lied to and cheated too. So stop the anger.” After considering the fact of God’s truth, I considered my faith— the issue of my will. Did I choose to place my faith in the fact of God’s Word? Or did I follow my feelings and “fleshly” inclinations, which were not to be trusted? At the end of the train was the caboose and what was to be trusted least—my feelings. “Under no circumstances, Pete, rely on your feel- ings. The heart is sinful and desperately wicked. Who can understand it [see Jeremiah 17:9]? This will only lead you astray into sin.” When taken in its entirety the practical implications of such an imbalanced, narrow, biblical belief system are, as we shall see later, enormous. It leads to a devaluing and repression of the emotional aspect of our humanity that is also made in the image of God. Sadly, some of our Christian beliefs and expectations today have, as Thomas Merton wrote, “merely deadened our humanity, instead of setting it free to develop richly, in all its capacities, under the influence of grace.”2
This model suggests that we turn our will to God as we gradually allow God’s teaching to reshape our actions, thoughts, and social context.Our soul is like a sailboat that blows the exact direction that the wind takes it. Rather than choosing to be blown about by personal impulses, circumstances, or the opinions of others. Our life begins to change as we commit to responding to God’s Word. However, we harness the wind through using specific life practices. Just as there are reliable ways to navigate a boat, there are reliable life practices that set us in motion.It is not facts that change our lives, and the life practices don’t really change it either. We change as we surrender to the leading of God’s word and bring our lives into harmony with it through concrete practices.Jesus is the one who teaches us how to actually pull all of this together. If you want to read more about His life practices, I would suggest the Sermon on the Mount.
