This life is transitory, ephemeral, and we will face adversity while on this earth. But we have fellowship in Christ’s sufferings, a truth that ought to lead us to cultivate a greater longing for our eternal home.
We are both immaterial and material, spirit and body. Learn how physical reminders can reorient us toward God.
We are pilgrims being prepared for home. We are not home yet. Life was never meant to be about ourselves, but about God. For this reason, it is the eternal that gives meaning and hope in the temporal arena.
Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, was born into the world to redeem us and heal our broken stories.
Which books form your eternal perspective trilogy, and how do they tie together?
Ken Boa’s two latest books are the subject of interviews by Dr. William P. Campbell on BEYOND Words Radio.
Ken Boa discusses a fourth critical component of the spiritual life—practicing the presence of God (or abiding in Christ, walking with God, etc.)—in his series on eight “spiritual essentials.”
The spiritual life involves alternating patterns of sorrow and joy, delight and emptiness, warm experience and feelings of abandonment. During these times, showing up before God on a daily basis is critical, Ken Boa explains in this eighth part of his “Devotional Spirituality” series.
In his weekly adult Sunday school class at Christ Church of Atlanta, Dr. Boa discusses his new book Life in the Presence of God. He explains the motivation behind the book, its relationship (as a sequel) to Rewriting Your Broken Story, and an overview of its content. He also talks about the companion training guide A Guide to Practicing God’s Presence.
Dr. Boa teaches that the “good life” (by the world’s definitions) will never be enough for us, because we were made for something much better. We can break out of the cages of the world’s way of thinking, living on the level of intimacy with God while also being present with people.
