Disciplined Life
Discipline is my word for 2019. My overall goal for this year is to live a better disciplined life; a better spiritually disciplined life, which I know will lay a solid foundation for all areas of discipline. Spiritual disciplines are defined by Brett and Kate McKay as “habits, practices and experiences that are designed to develop, grow and strengthen the ‘muscles’ of one’s character and expand the breadth of one’s inner life. They structure the ‘workouts’ which train the soul.” This goes right along with 1 Timothy 4:7-8: Train yourself for godliness, for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
In With The New
As another year has passed, we stand on the brink of one new. And just like at the beginning of every new year, there’s much talk about blank pages, resolutions, and goals. You’ve heard it, right? “New year, new you.” So what does that mean, and what does that actually look like? For many it’s about weight loss or a new fitness program. For others it’s about organizational goals, financial goals, or relational goals. But what if there was something more, something deeper? What if the new you this year was less about you and more about Christ in you?
