6 Ways You Know It's time to Change Your Spiritual Routines

Albert Einstein once said, " The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."

Children are creative and their imaginations are wild. Then children start school dampening both a child's creativity and imagination. Education tends to favor a left-brain model of logic, rational thinking, systematic approaches, and accuracy. Accuracy equals the reward of a good grade. The longer we stay in an educational setting the more adept we become at left-brain thinking.

It shouldn't surprise us to use the same approach in our Christian practices. We're taught the model for success as a Christian is to go to church, pray for 1 hour, read through the Bible in a year, and serve. Each one is an important pillar of faith. It only becomes a problem when we attach a learning model to a longing for connection and intimacy.
