Barnabas: The High Calling of Playing Second Fiddle

November 7, 2023 by Krisan Marotta

Barnabas is an great example of the incredible good you can do when you don’t care who gets credit. Though he is uncelebrated by history,  without Barnabas — you could argue — there would have been no Apostle Paul, no John Mark, and no Gospel of Mark.

Prayer and Spiritual Formation: How does it work?

October 23, 2023 by Krisan Marotta

The theology of Spiritual Formation assumes there is a level a spirituality that I can have if I do certain spiritual practices. Prayer is typically is one of those practices.  Yet, the biblical picture of prayer is not a spiritual discipline that I use to reach a higher spiritual level. Rather prayer is an unavoidable mandatory battlefield in the war of faith.

Does Spiritual Formation seek the right kind of change?

October 16, 2023 by Krisan Marotta

Does Spiritual Formation seek the right kind of change? |WednesdayintheWord.com

Not only does the theology of spiritual formation aim at the wrong target, spiritual formation seeks the wrong kind of change. While spiritual disciplines focus on success at outward righteous behavior, the Bible teaches that the goal of spiritual maturity is a strong unshakeable faith.

Is Spiritual Formation shooting at the right target?

October 9, 2023 by Krisan Marotta

Is Spritiual Formation shooting at the right target? |WednesayintheWord.com

The theology of Spiritual Formation sounds great on paper, but it is focused on the wrong target.

Progress toward greater spirituality is measured by what can be seen (for example, how well I maintain the routines of sabbath, bible reading, confession;  how loving my actions are toward others; how much I experience greater joy and contentment; how well I serve and sacrifice, etc.) which means success is measured by outward righteous behavior.

But is outward righteous behavior the right target?

Does Spiritual Formation work? Answers from Haggai

October 2, 2023 by Krisan Marotta

Does Spiritual Formation work |WednesdayintheWord.com
“Spiritual formation” is a hot topic today.  But does it work?  The Old Testament prophet Haggai would answer no.

Spiritual formation is “an intentional Christian practice with the goal of developing spiritual maturity that leads to Christ-likeness.”  This theology is based on the premise that doing certain practices (typically daily prayer, fasting, solitude, confession and/or meditating on scripture) will make us more like Christ.

While everyone agrees that prayer and bible study are beneficial, does regularly practicing them guarantee spiritual growth?
