The Oxford Group’s Influence (part 7)

from Steps to the Spirit Hosted by Chuck Lutz

Send us Fan Mail This week I’ll be speaking about the second of the four spiritual practices that are proposed by the Oxford Group. This second practice is: 2. Surrender our life past, present and future, into God's keeping and direction. Well, my friends, as soon as I saw that word surrender, I knew that this was going to be one of my favorites of any of the Oxford Groups writings. This particular practice, that of surrender to God, is a corners of my faith And spiritual practices. This practice is almost an exact duplicate of step number three in the 12-step program. In fact, my current book I am working on is titled, “Yes: I surrender”. I believe I have been consistent in chaffing the third step as the most important action I could complete as a human being. This second spiritual principle, as well as the third step in the 12-steps, means to me that I must try as best I can to perform all of my human functions as they may be approved and fortified through my Spirit. I suppose that this is my duality, which is frowned upon these days by a majority of philosophers, theologians, and scientists. It is my opinion that those who do not believe in the duality of physical and spiritual are plain, out-and-out, wrong. I am certainly excited to begin this podcast!
