Becoming What You Behold
You are being formed. The only question is what is forming you?
The truth is that your life will look like whatever you love most.
You are shaped by what you seek. You become what you behold.
What we spend our time consuming will inform who we are becoming, and where we set our eyes today will determine the trajectory of who we are years and even decades from now. God's invitation to His people is to be formed for fellowship: fellowship with God and with one another.
We are born into this world malformed and broken, but we don't have to stay that way. God loves us and He wants to change us. "Spiritual Formation" is the question of what, why, and how God changes His people to look more and more like Christ.
Christians often struggle with the "Why?" of the Christian life: Why is it good to obey God? Why pray? Why read the bible? Why share the gospel? In Formed for Fellowship: Becoming what you Behold, Kyle Worley helps connect the dots between the practices of the Christian life and the nature and works of God. If we become what we behold, then every "spiritual discipline" of the Christian life must lead us to look upon God.
Formed for Fellowship will answer crucial questions like:
- What is a person?
- How are we formed?
- Where do we belong?
- What do we love?
- What do we know?
- What has our attention?
- What do we give our time to?
- Where is our hope?
- Who is our enemy?
Every one of us is being shaped, changed, and formed every day. Are we being shaped to look more like Christ or more like the world? Formed for Fellowship is an invitation to look upon God and be changed.
