168: Reflections on the Praxis

It starts with God.
– Proverbs 1:7   

Friends,

A wise man once told me, “More is better. Except when it’s not.” 

We can see this in our spiritual formation. The myth of more has co-opted even the ancient practices meant to root us in the Kingdom of God.

More teaching.
More study.
More content.
More events.
More healing.
More….of everything.

Yet more is neither the point nor the prize. As our older brother Jesus winsomely announces, “God alone is good.” 

Jesus reminds us that there is treasure along the path of his Kingdom more valuable than all growth, transformation, ministry, and miracles. It is the treasure of God himself.

What if the invitation today is to simply enjoy the gift and opportunity of friendship with God? What if God himself is the point and the prize? 

What if the goal is simply being with God, enjoying his personality, presence, and outrageous affection…and nothing more? 

Come along. Let us enjoy God, together. 

For the Kingdom,
Morgan
