Spiritual Disciplines

The Spirit of God will use the word of God to help the people of God pray increasingly according to the will of God.

Our Father loves to hear our voices. Nothing is too small to bring to him.

Perfectionism is the tendency to expect flawless performance from self and others, resulting in frustration at any sign of failure.

The battle against sin is lost when the pastor thinks he is in a separate class, impervious from the spiritual warfare faced by all believers. First and foremost, he must see himself as a Christian who must endure to the end.

Understanding the Bible as a unified redemptive story dramatically changes the way we approach it.

As we return to Scripture year after year, we are better prepared to see what has been there all along.

Unlike the words of David and Jeremiah in Scripture, no believer’s writings today are divinely inspired. But the example of the biblical authors in writing their prayers, meditations, questions, etc., provides scriptural validation for Christians today to do the same.

If you can’t make time to meet God through the Bible and prayer now, it’s very unlikely you will when (if) life does slow down.

I plan to continue this practice for the rest of my life, for I never outgrow the need for the practical wisdom of this divinely-inspired book.

Let’s power down, seek to connect with one another, and encourage each other to press on as we together proclaim the faith once for all delivered to the saints .
