Theological correctness alone is no balm for the wounds of our frail and sinful humanity...We cannot nourish the mind but neglect the heart....good theology is not enough. There is the serious danger of the emergence of an arid evangelical rationalism.We can think of spirituality as the internalisation of our faith. It means allowing our faith to saturate every aspect of our lives, infecting and affecting our thinking, feeling and living....the way in which Christian individuals and groups deepen their experience of God.
