Grace Unlimited promotes a ministry of perpetual conversion. Christianity is not a static, but rather a dynamic faith through which the Holy Spirit continually helps us redefine and rediscover for today the unchanging command to love each other.

Spiritual practices are our tools for this work of continual creation.

Several places in the Christian Gospels* Jesus says we must leave ourselves behind - our plans, thoughts, desires, opinions, possessions, egos -- to stop what we are doing - our busyness, telephone calls, distractions, noise, appointments -- and follow him.

Lets face it - spiritual growth is serious and hard work. In the Gospel of Luke that instruction includes the daily taking up of your cross. Spiritual practices are disciplines (from the word "disciple") for daily use. Honestly, if we are not growing in spirit we become spiritually dead (the indication of life is growth and movement).

For those seeking a first hand experience of God; not settling for second hand accounts from others, the challenge is in learning together to recognize God for ourselves.

May these suggestions of spiritual practices, dating from the earliest accounts of the church and practiced by millions today, be of guidance to you. Notice, as well, that although Christian in their origin and use, they closely resemble practices from other great world religions. After all, there is one God, and many before us have sought, and along side of us today still seek, to be in that Presence.
