Godly discipline is different to the rules and regulations of bureaucratic organizations. The answer to legalism is not a vacuum, but clarity about our priorities. To live authentically means that I choose my lifestyle, I do not succumb to the lifestyle others foist upon me. It means that I use my time, money and talents according to my deepest convictions.
In the changed circumstances of the third millennium, the person in the street needs a Way. Technology and mobility give us so many choices that our lives, without a framework, become driven by external stimuli and unsifted expectations.
- Ray Simpson, from the book A Pilgrim Way: New Celtic monasticism for everyday people (p.9)
