DISCIPLINE: Activity, exercise, or a regimen that develops or improves a skill; training:

Explore the classic disciplines of the Christian faith from what the Bible has to say, and how these can be effective and effectual tools for our Christian formation as well as our spiritual and relational growth. Our goal here is to get you to think and pray to focus more upon Christ and His Word! Character comes to our disciplined and growing Christian life infused in and by Christ and the outpouring of the Spirit and Fruit. A discipline is a help that builds our spiritual life and maturity so we can better receive the Work of the Spirit and the knowledge of the Word to help us produce character. Thus, the distinction of character comes from our devotional life; discipline is our contribution to our devotional life.

Hopefully, it will be one of that you know our Lord and seek to love and grow in Him. Hopefully, your life and ministry can be about something much greater than yourself or your own thinking; that it is about how to glorify God and enjoy Him so your life is an impact no matter what has happened or will happen.

What You Will Hear

The spiritual exercises we have done are Biblical and are meant as a "tool" to engage the Text with a surrendered mindset to grow deeper. These classic Disciplines are not the non-Biblical "junk" or the mind-numbing mantras or some kind of altered state of consciousness. For these are very dangerous endeavors and will cause dysfunction to your faith and to your church.

The Bible warns us that if we do not have self control, we will be slaves to what controls us. Food, lust, money, our words...we can find ourselves overwhelmed with the consequences of not having self control in many areas of life. Being self controlled is the very foundation for living a life of righteousness and selflessness that reflects Jesus and brings glory to God. We have the power to bring sins under control!

If you or someone you know is struggling with self control it's time to get in the Word of God and allow Scripture to change your heart and mind. The Bible has power and when you choose to meditate and memorize verses, you will be reminded of the truth in your moment of losing self control and you will be able to make the right decision! Read these Bible verses about having self control and begin taking small steps each day to bring your thoughts and actions into line with God's plan for your life to live free and fully alive!
