What does “spirituality” mean to you?  For some, the words “piety” or “devotion” mean the same thing, yet these terms don’t carry the meaning that they once did.  The word “spirituality” itself can be very vague and general.  Some use the term “spiritual life,” but that seems to say then there is another life we live, too, maybe a non-spiritual life.  One writer has defined “spirituality” as “how we live with God in this world.”  I like this definition.  “How we live with God in this world,” communicates the idea of relationship and identity.  The realities are God as Creator and us as God’s creation and the relationship is a living one.  “How” we live with God assumes that God is a constant and we do not live without God.  One Christian writer as described “how we live with God in this world” as a choreography of the Holy Spirit in the human spirit moving us toward communion with both Creator and creation.

This Sunday we will be talking about the Spirit of God and what that means when it comes to living with God in this world.  How are you living with God in this world?  See you Sunday.

Dr. Lance A. Perry
