Il existe une différence radicale entre la vie spirituelle orientée par la croyance, de celle qui a son fondement dans l'expérience.
Mais la croyance est le chemin vers l'expérience. De la même manière que le doute précède la croyance, la foi vient avant l'expérience du divin.
La simple croyance se transforme en foi lorsqu'on la met en pratique, lorsqu'on la vit. Et si cette pratique est soutenue de manière persévérante, on aboutit alors...

Christian practice of the Lord's Supper is radically dissimilar from the silent, solemn, individualistic eating of bread crumbs and drinking sips of wine that many churches practice today. Instead, says Hicks, our practice of the supper should be a joyous communal meal as it was in earliest Christianity. The contemporary practice of the suppers needs to be "revisioned" according to biblical values. Combining careful Bible study with gentle, practical...

Road to Experience
There is a radical difference between the spiritual life guided by belief, from that which has its foundation in experience.
But belief is the way to experience. Just as doubt precedes belief, faith comes before the experience of the divine.
Mere belief is transformed into faith when it is put into practice, when it is lived. And if this practice is sustained in a persevering way, the experience is accessed.
When the experience...

Modern life is fast-paced. Even worse, it's often chaotic and confused. But it doesn't have to be that way. Our days and our weeks are part of God's created order; the sun setting and rising, the regular shift from work to rest: all of these form a rhythm for our lives, a rhythm that the church has historically observed through a set calendar of feasts and fasts. Maybe you've used an Advent calendar to count down the days till Christmas. Or you might...
