is to an article by Richard Foster

called Ten Counsels: Richard Foster on Spiritual Formation,
from the journal Reformed Worship.

http://hopekaibear.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/tencounsels-richardfosteronspiritualformation.pdf

 

His ten counsels:
  1. Do no define spiritual formation in terms of various practices
  2. Do not focus on curriculum-based solutions
  3. Do not aim at outward action
  4. DO root spiritual formation in the Great Commission
  5. DO think internationally
  6. DO think in terms of the Church universal
  7. DO give sustained attention to a balanced vision
  8. DO draw wisdom and insight from the Great Tradition
  9. DO take the long view
  10. DO develop the highest possible Christology.
