Spiritual Obesity
"That feeling you have is not the hunger pains of spiritual malnourishment - it's the lethargy and listlessness of spiritual obesity..."
-Gordon Venturella
"False Spirituality - A spirituality that sits back, procrastinates, is lazy and then blames God or other people for the mess that they get in. This kind of spirituality is more magical thinking than true spirituality. This kind of magical thinking is bathed in artificial christianeese language, views the Bible as a magical charm, and God as a genie in a bottle waiting for us to come up with the right magical incantations so He'll do our bidding."
-Gordon D. Venturella, How To Be Proactive
"The purpose of the connection is not so that you can become spiritually satiated and self-satisfied. The purpose of the connection is not so that you can O.D. on your newfound spirituality. The purpose of the connection and spiritual growth is not so that you can sit back and have people wait on you hand and foot and get your way. The connection has a purpose: To build the Kingdom."
-Gordon Venturella
