Quote of the Week – Wade Burleson and Spiritualizing Life

Posted on October 20, 2009 by Andrew J. Nicewander| 1,528 Comments

“Bottom line: I wish Christian people would simply state the plain truth and stop spiritualizing everything. How many pastors say “God has called me to another church” when it is more accurate to say “I have an opportunity to go to a bigger church that will pay me a larger salary which will possibly enhance the opportunties and influence I have in terms of my ministerial career.” I, frankly, would find the latter–if ever said–refreshing…It’s about time we Southern Baptists agree to stop spiritualizing and simply state the truth. We may find one day God’s not quite as thrilled as we think He is about us attaching His name to everything we Southern Baptists say or do.”

“President-elect Obama is the first Pastor in Chief of the new age of spirituality. If he fulfills the promise of his campaign, if he leads by listening, if he welcomes each of us to a purpose larger than ourselves, he will be rewarded by an outpouring of commitment that offers a real chance to overcome some of our most vexing problems.
