Apple-cranberry Crisp Amandine

The kind of meditation encouraged in the Bible differs from other kinds of meditation in several ways. While some advocate a kind of meditation in which you do your best to empty your mind, Christian meditation involves filling your mind with God and truth. For some, meditation is an attempt to achieve complete mental passivity, but biblical meditation requires constructive mental activity. Worldly meditation employs visualization techniques intended to “create your own reality.” And while Christian history has always had a place for the sanctified use of our God-given imagination in meditation, imagination is our servant to help us meditate on things that are true (Philippians 4:8). Furthermore, instead of “creating our own reality” through visualization, we link meditation with prayer to God and responsible, Spirit-filled human action to effect changes.

There is the pride of being “radical” or the pride of being “realistic.” There is the pride of being able to “spot a sinner” or the pride of being able to “notice the hurting.” There is the pride of doing “only what you want to do” or the pride of doing “whatever needs doing.” There is the pride at being “unbiased” or the pride of being “loyal.” There is the pride of being “perfectly honest” or the pride of being able to “get along with people.” There is the pride at being “on top of an issue” or the pride of having an “open mind.” There is the pride at all one has “acquired” or the pride over all one has “sacrificed.” There is the pride over “how great our church is” or the pride of “knowing exactly what's going wrong.” There is the pride of being a “victorious Christian” or the pride of being one who “struggles with God.” There is the pride that says “I can stand tall” or the pride that says “I'm willing to get on my knees.” There is the pride that says “our church is growing” or the pride that says “we're staying faithful.” Pride comes in many forms but has only one end: destruction (Dick Rasanen).
