The Anabaptists

As we wrestle with the Anabaptists, I realize quickly that our Spirituality is most evident in our doing of good works. Feeding the hungry, going to church, praying, building, and giving. That is a legitimate way to pursue Christ and Christ's presence, but have we become so good at doing, that we don't even think about Christ as we do what we do?

When we feed, do we seek Christ in those with whom we feed? While building houses with MDS do we see ourselves working alongside Christ building the kingdom?

Spiritual disciplines are designed to meet Christ, to grow in our faith in Him and in discipleship. Our doing is a spiritual discipline when we look at it as a way to grow in Christ by participating in his work. Next time you are "doing" for God, I invite you to think about why you are doing it, who you are touching, and how you are growing with Jesus!
