Thoughts and Questions
This is my response to the suggestion made in the "28 Days..." exploration of the Mystical style to re-read the section in "3 Colors..." on the mystical style and post reflections.
My native style is Rational, leaning toward Sensory. My reactions to the Mystical style are wholly positive. There...
I was directed to TED.com as part of my 28 days... work in the Rational Style, my native style. I came across a talk by the Turkish novelist Elif Sharak. Where I connect with her presentation is through my own conviction that our Bible is a literary work, and must be understood and interpreted on...
Can't help but relate the doctrinal style (my opposite style) with the typology of thinking/feeling aspects of one's personality. As I understand this part of one's personality, it represents the ways in which a person typically makes a decision - either on facts/logic or on feelings. It appears...
Imagine a church where your pastor is in another city and the sermon is "broadcast" to the various campuses. Imagine a church where the garage band (not the "modern" but still melodious music that you may hear on K-Love (a US Christian radio station) today) is the worship music. Imagine a church...

When I took The 3 Colors of Your Spirituality Test, I could not believe that my native style was the Enthusiastic style. I have wished to be uninhibited enough to worship this way, but have not been able to really open up (pray out loud, speak in tongues, etc.)
Before taking this test, I thought...
I am focusing on my native style (mystic) for the 28 days of discipline. I am comfortable with feeling God within me. I have always naturally looked for the best in others, and, as a teacher, have actively pursued this attitude. I like the idea of focusing on the potential in people, rather than...
The Message Bible, a recent bíble translation into day-to-day English, done by old Presbyterian Pastor and Scholar Eugene H. Peterson, is my favorite bible for several years by now.
