The media has made a great deal about recent polls where folks define themselves as 'spiritual' rather than 'religious'. Which for me raises the question, What do they mean by spiritual? [and of course, it's twin, what do they mean by 'religious'?]
As people who look to the Holy Spirit as a comforter, encourager, prayer partner and source of power, I would expect that believing Christians are spiritual. By that I mean, are open to the Spirit's movement in this world, in their lives and in themselves. There is some expectation that this movement of the Spirit would challenge us to move in unexpected directions. It would push us towards generosity ....and compassion....and righteous indignation over injustice. All of these are characteristics of our Lord Jesus, and so the Spirit works to transform us into the person God has always known we can be.
But what do you think?
