"Modern American Christianity places great value and trust in the "big event," the spiritual conference, the rally, the Revival, and the concert. If we truly desire our children to study our methods, they are likely to learn that significant Kingdom Ministry takes place only on the stage before thousands of people.
The classic Christian witness has been that spirituality takes place in the everyday events of Life. . . .
Responding to those who hope to find God in spiritual conferences and the ecstatic meetings, Eugene Peterson quips in 'The Wisdom of Each Other' that one is more likely to find a spiritual readiness for the uniqueness of the Christian message among those who are dealing with the basics of daily existence than among those who are trying to escape them. We need God, not in the hyper emotional experiences that the North American Christianity has come to expect, but in the common, everyday stuff of life.
