I have created this web site to assist in making worship more meaningful.
I believe the more familiar we are with the lectionary reading, the more
we receive from the worship service.
The
devotional is not intended to give answers but to raise questions. Spiritual
transformation
comes from questions, not answers. Answers
come from religion,
but questions come from spirituality. Today there is an interest in spirituality
but not in religion, as seen in the lack of attendance in worship services.
I also believe worship should be a vital part of one’s spirituality
if it is to be a balanced Christian spirituality.
I am a United Methodist layman who has an interest in prayer, spirituality
and spiritual direction. I serve as a volunteer coordinator of prayer
ministry and spiritual formation in my local church, First United
Methodist in San
Angelo, Texas. I have a certificate of study from Perkins School of Theology
and Theology of Christian Spirituality from Lebh Shomea House of Prayer
at Sarita, Texas.
I thank Carol Hirschfeld for permission to use her art work.
