A guy I know who claimed to be a Christian for a little while (and even officially identified as a ‘Pastor’) is now offering something he calls, ‘spiritual direction.’ If you message him, he will set-up an ‘exploratory phone call’ which I assume has something to do with searching caves for treasure chests but I don’t know. I doubt that it matters to anyone so desperate for ‘spiritual direction’ that they’re asking this guy to guide them.

Having read his blog, I’m confident that he will be able to help you if your spiritual goal is walking in circles. If you are looking for a Sherpa to guide you into the poisonous swamp of political humanism, he’s your man! He will teach you the virtues of homosexuality, abortion, voting democrat, and judging people by the color their skin. He will help you realize that all evil on Earth is created by Republicans. If you’re blind, you can take his hand with full confidence that you’re being led by someone just like you.

For what it’s worth, I’m offering some ‘spiritual direction’ too. My program is pretty simple and unimaginative. We don’t need an exploratory phone call. We don’t even need to schedule a counseling session. You don’t even need to give me any of your personal information. I can point you in the right spiritual direction with three words: “Walk toward Jesus.”

There is no reason to look for ‘spiritual direction’ when Jesus already told you He is the way. Any spiritual path that doesn’t lead directly to Christ should be ignored. Any spiritual direction that doesn’t put you on a path toward Jesus, is false religion. And anyone who teaches you something else is accursed.

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

(John 14:6)
