Definition of spiritual formation: the process of being
conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others. In this week’s message, the focus is still on
spiritual disciplines, but special attention is given to the outflow of the
Christian’s relationship with God. Much
of the spiritual disciplines have to do with the vertical, i.e. one’s
relationship with God. However, there is
a horizontal element as well in the giving of ourselves for the benefit of others. The healthy Christian must operate on both
axes, the vertical relationship with God through Christ and the horizontal
relationship with others. One should not
be forsaken for the other.
