SPIRITUAL DISCPLINES THAT TRANSFORM
1 timothy 4:7-8
V7. Have nothing to do with godless myths & old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.
V8. FOr physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life & the life to come.
A. The purpose of Spiritual Disciplines (v:7)
-Spiritual Disciplines require time & effort.
-It is NOT a set of rules . or legalistic rules.etc
-Embracing ground rules which protects us from "shipwrecks" in our life/lives
-We can't keep overloading our lives without accepting the consequence.
~Questions to ask yourself:
-What is the key to becoming disciplined?
-What is your aspiration as a christian?
~
-As long as you have a vision, there will be purpose and direction.
-There is now so much noise around us, we don't hear God speaking to us.
-Practicing Spiritual Disciplines will produce a godly character in our life/lives.
B. The value of Spiritual Disciplines(v:8)
-Spiritual Disciplines prepares us for heaven.
-We put so much effort into everything else but when it comes to godliness, we expect it to come instantly. (with little/without effort)
-The "gold" of godliness isn't found on the surface of christianity-it has to be dug in the depths of the ground.
-Those who persevere, in the end, the treasures will be worth all the troubles.
~If we are his children, godliness is not an option.
~If you want to make something a habit, you must do it for at LEAST 21 days-then it will become a habit.
A football coach said:
The job of a football coach is to make them do what they don't want to do, in order to achieve what they always wanted to do.
