Our spirituality does not come by meditative practices or other-worldly ponderings – as followers of Christ we are spiritual because God has given us His Holy Spirit and given us each gifts to glorify Him

As followers of Christ we are called to a life of faithful participation with Him. We are called to pursue things that glorify Him and to reject the things of this world that draw away our affections from Him.
