May it be so

November 24th, 2003

Who was it that said, originally, most preaching pastors don’t even believe in God again until at least Tuesday morning?

From The Divine Conspiracy:

Must not all who speak for Christ constantly ask themselves these crucial questions:
Does the gospel I preach and teach have a natural tendency to cause people to hear it to become full-time students of Jesus?
Would those who believe it become his apprentices as a natural “next step”?
What can we reasonably expect would result from people actually believing the substance of my message?

Lord, may it be so. Remind me, whenever I speak for you, that each word has eternal consequences, and that You are the Word. May You be every Word I speak.

Glad You’re Here

Welcome to In the Coracle, Pat Loughery's blog. Make yourself at home, and do join in the conversation by commenting on what you find here.

I make my living as a software engineer and project manager. I have particular interest in social software, social networks, and systems that build relationship between people.

I blog a lot these days about spirituality and spiritual formation, and I have a particular interest in learning from the early Christian church's approach to spirituality and mission.

I'm a student at Bakke Graduate University, studying for a Doctor of Ministry in Transformational Leadership for the Global City.

I'm studying spiritual formation in an Internet-based world. I'm trying to learn from early Christian spirituality's monastic movements: the desert fathers and mothers, Benedictines, Celts, Fransciscans and others, in order to see how they ordered their values and actions to be fully devoted to God's work. Their total devotion to the presence of God was countercultural, that can show us what it means to be countercultural in our wholehearted devotion to God in contemporary culture.
