sermon: Spirituality and True Conversion
The Deception of Worldly Spirituality
Martin G. Collins
Given 15-Sep-01; Tape #520
Description: In this sermon contrasting Godless spirituality with genuine conversion, Martin Collins warns against a warm fuzzy emotional spirituality without a Deity, a worldly spirituality based upon a worldly syncretism of Eastern and Western philosphical thought, somewhat like a blending of mango and orange juice. True conversion involves a change of direction, an arduous, lengthy process in which repentance, faith, and obedience enables God Almighty to replace the carnal rebellious human spirit with God's Holy Spirit. Genuine conversion involves not merely being sorry, but a total change of mind and life, walking in the light of God's leadership and fellowship (I John 1:7). (71 minutes)
