    In the 46 years I have been walking with the Lord, my passion has been spiritual formation i.e. how does God changes us. What are the essential realities/truths we must learn for this change to occur. To say it another way, why do we do what we do and how can we be released to do the things we are created to do and freed from those things we wish we didn't do.Only God can change you (though you certainly play a vital part).
