Bringing our Soul Journey to a close

Two weeks ago Pastor David suggested that most of the people he knows tend to recommend spiritual disciplines in tow categories: those that have been powerful tools for them and those that should have been powerful but were not. What is your response to that suggestion? Do you recommend spiritual disciplines to others? Should we even be in the business of recommending disciplines to others?

Pastor David also suggested that there is a difference between a rule and a tool when it comes to life and to spiritual formation. Discuss the difference between the two and why the distinction is or is not important. Consider asking yourself why we tend to turn powerful spiritual tools into lifeless rules.

Last Sunday Pastor David suggested that getting where God wants us to go on our Soul Journey isn't nearly as important as becoming who He wants us to be. Do you agree or disagree with that statement and why?

What role have delays and detours played in your Soul Journey? Are you as far along as you thought you would be at this point in your life? If not, what has held you back?
