Spirituality. Spirituality is defined as the status quo of the believer that is filled with God the Holy Spirit. Spiritually is absolute and not relative. The believer is either 100% spiritual or 0 % spiritual at any given moment; there is no in between. No matter what stage of spiritual growth a believer finds himself in, he is spiritual if God the Holy Spirit is controlling his soul. Substitutionary spiritual death is separation from God in a state of perfection and impeccability. This applies to Xxxxx Xxxxxx who died "spiritually" as a substitute for sin on our behalf. Since His spiritual death was efficacious and propitiated God the Father, by it eternal life is offered to all mankind, ROM 5:8.
Spirituality. It has become increasingly popular to utilize methods developed by humanistic and secular society to dictate the programs, methods and directives of the local Church. However, we believe that the local Church is to be led by the Spirit of God. Therefore, men who serve as leaders in the local assembly are to be men who, first of all, are men of the Word. We are called to "study" (2 Xxx 2:15) the Scriptures and "be ready always to give an answer to every man…" (1 Xxxxx 3:15) We are to be men whose lives are directed by and submitted to the Holy Scriptures. Secondly, men in leadership should be men who are in the habit of spending time in prayer, waiting in the presence of God. An elder should be a man who faithfully brings up the needs of the fellowship before the Lord in prayer. Xxxx said: "(We)…do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light." (Col. 1:9-12) Xxxxx is the ultimate example of Christian leadership and has left for us an example of His discipline and dependence upon His Heavenly Father - spending time in prayer. If He spent time in the presence of His Father, consider the greatness of our need to do the same. Men in leadership should be men who humbly adhere to counsel and make themselves accountable to fellow believers. No man will ever be a great leader who has not first learned to be a faithful follower. It is of greatest importance to understand that a leader in the body of Xxxxxx is a servant to the body of Xxxxxx, not a ruler who dictates to and lords over the flock of God. An independent, glory seeking, power hungry and/or self-willed spirit must be set aside if one is to be a servant/leader to the body of Xxxxxx. Because people look to the elders and deacons in the local assembly as examples, it is important that their lifestyle depicts integrity, consistency and faithfulness. Xxxx told Xxxxxxx to: "…be…an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." (1 Xxx. 4:12)

Spirituality. “An inner sense of relationships to a higher power that is loving and guiding. The word we give to this higher power might be God, nature, spirit, the universe, the creator, or other words that represent a divine presence.

Spirituality. The implications of spirituality could be an important aspect of a child’s life. There has been much discussion in defining the parameters of spirituality and its impact on the lives of individuals. Spirituality is considered to constitute beliefs, experiences or practices such as prayer or meditation; that xxxxxx a connection to a higher power that transcends daily physical existence, and which may be unrelated to the practices of any given religion (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 2006). Although religious performance can be an expression of spiritual practices, aspects of adolescent spirituality will be the focus of this study. Spirituality and religiousness are often closely intertwined; therefore, it is important to define the differences between these terms to provide clarification. Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx (2007) state: Spirituality is defined as a sense of closeness with God, feelings of interconnectedness with the world or an awareness of a transcendent dimension, whereas religiosity is defined as a commitment to a system of beliefs and worship, which may include personal and communal practices. A spiritual experience may occur within a religious system through the practice of religion, or it may occur outside of a religious system of meaning. (p. 1022) Religion is a conduit for a person to express their spiritual or relational experience with a higher power. Through spirituality, attributes of the spirit can be demonstrated in one's life. A spiritual mindset brings about humbleness, forgiveness, peace, joy, and persistence. In Galatians 5:22 NIV, the Bible states, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” Through spirituality, these qualities provide the tools to deal with the challenges and obstacles that one may experience in the journey of life. Spirituality offers an opportunity to connect with the creator and exercise faith through religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism. The key component of spirituality is the provision of an outlet for connecting with a higher power and reflecting on the aspects of faith. In the Bible, David’s spiritual connection with God led him to be considered a man after God’s own heart. In the Bible, Xxxxxx 13:13-14 states, “You have done a foolish thing.” Xxxxxx added, You have not kept the command the Lord, your God, gave you; if you had, you would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. But now your kingdom wi...
