Something to Think About

Spirituality and religion are not the same. Religion can be taught; spirituality cannot. This is why memorizing the Lord’s Prayer and the Ten Commandments, and going to church does not make a person spiritual. A person can be deeply spiritual and never set foot inside a church. Another can attend church regularly, pray and recite creeds, while remaining one whose life expression is the very opposite of spirituality. Religion is something we do, and not doing it is not necessarily a great loss. Spirituality is something we are, and if we do not grow spiritually, we do not grow at all.
