Spirituality without Power/ Power without Spirituality

[jwharv]

Last night during another long sleepless night I was listening to Bro. Billy Cole preach. He made a statement at the beginning of his sermon that said:

"You can be spiritual and not have power, and you can have power and not be spiritual. God would prefer we were both."

He meant by power operating in the Gifts of the Spirit healing and so forth. He never really clarified what he meant by Spiritual. He only spent about 3 minutes on this. I would like to know what you think.

Oh yeah he used the Church at Corinth for an example of this.............

BUMP............

Anyone?

I have no idea what he meant, so have no comment.

(Well, besides the one I just made...)

BTW, I have no idea what he meant, because I did not hear his sermon.

I see it a tad bit different.
You can be religious and not have power.
You can have power that is not of God and not be religious.

I guess it depends on how "spiritual" is defined.

BTW, I have no idea what he meant, because I did not hear his sermon either.

Well let me ask a question in a different way then.


Do you think someone can operate in "Power" the Gifts of the Spirit, healing, etc.. and not be spiritual?

Do you think a person can be very spiritual and not have any "Power" in the spirit?

How do you define "spiritual"?
