Description
"A Spiritual Christian" - Forward by Rev. Dr. David Wells
Spirituality and to be a "spiritual" person are popular concepts in today's global religious milieu. Dr. Stefan Sos, as a respected Bible teacher who is a credentialed global worker with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. He has written "A Spiritual Christian" which takes on the challenge of putting definition to those terms in a manner that will be true to the revelation of Christian scripture even if that means challenging other perceptions of what it means to be spiritual.
Stefan's method to do so is very true to who he is. Using his strengths as a teacher he fully engages God's Word and lays out in a systematic manner what "A Spiritual Christian" is and what they are not. These include essential theological understandings such as; the distinction between those that are spiritual and those that are carnal, where true spirituality stems from, false and authentic spiritual authority and having one's mind transformed to truly be spiritual in attitude and thinking.
His applications are far ranging dealing with the whole person in the whole of life. A common appeal is that the "Spiritual Christian" must live their life from a foundation of the Spirit- enlivened, objective truth of Scriptures rather than being ruled by the need for subjective experiences which can quickly lead to error. Some of his frankest comments are made applying this understanding. As a reader it is stimulating to engage a number of the straightforward applications Dr. Sos makes.
The emphasis of "A Spiritual Christian" is definitely needed in the life of the Church today. In today's context of spiritual fusion and undefined "spirituality" we do need writers such as Dr. Sos to draw readers back to the Scriptures as they develop a clear understanding of what it means to be a Spirit-empowered follower of Jesus.
