Donna,

Good points. I certainly think that you’re right that many Christians are afraid to meditate because they don’t know it’s in scripture and that they don’t make time outside of Sunday morning corporate worship.

Do you know of any New Testament passages that reference meditation (either the word or the concept)?

I would like to see some NT verses about meditation. I like that you mentioned eastern religion meditation. Meditating is not used much by Christians because they are possibly afraid to emulate some other form of religion, not realizing that it is Biblical. Mostly, I think Christians probably don’t meditate because they don’t make time outside of services.

[...] Several years ago, I lost focus in my spiritual life. For any number of “valid” reasons, I stopped going to church, spending time with other like-minded believers in Christ, and spending time with God in the Bible, prayer, and meditation. The result - I quickly learned the value of my ability to lead my life apart from God. I became a prodigal. [...]

Nice set of principles here my friend, and I love your concluding thoughts. Particularly “make it easier to contribute” and “make participation a side effect.” Would love to see them in action.

Thanks for sharing your heart and wisdom.
