“The greatest threat to human welfare is not suffering, it is ignorance or, perhaps, apathy–the failure to know and live deeply. Central to that ignorance is a denial of our innately human vulnerability. The opposite of vitality is not suffering, it is numbness, a desolation of the soul in which we are completely isolated, self-centered, and thoroughly deceived by a false sense of self-sufficiency. If we are to lead complete human lives, it is vital that we respect suffering, and recognize its potential to unlock deeper and more interconnected understanding.”

I have placed 1 of the 8 sermon series on this post because it is so important for Christians in the U.S. to come back to the early church practices of prayer, meditation, and using ALL of our sense and especially using our imagination/minds.
As a western physician, my brain is entirely left without a right. The use of imagery in prayer and in our walk with Him could transform our faith if we took the time to practice these exercises.
As a former atheist, I am quick to put distance between myself and God when life is going smoothly and to be filled with doubt when life is going rough. These sermons inspire and challenge all of us to use our minds/imaginations to grow closer to Him.
