Spiritual vitality makes sense of life: Why are we alive? Why is there suffering? What is God’s will for our lives? Apart from God, the ‘secular mind’ conjures up a inaccurate, inadequate explanations and principles for life and conduct. When we receive new life through Christ, however, we also received the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). This new mind corrects our view of the world and of every aspect of life. God’s Word is the foundation for this renewal. This message looks at the disciplines of Bible study, meditation, and spiritual reading for developing spiritual mental maturity: Application: God’s Word comes alive when we both study to learn God’s truth and also meditate with sanctified imagination to experience God more fully.
