I have a confession to make… and to be honest I really don’t want to post this entry. But it’s necessary.
I’m spiritually undisciplined.
I want to read my Bible every morning…I want to pray every morning…
Sometimes I do, a lot of times I don’t.
I tell myself it’s not a big deal - that I shouldn’t too ‘legalistic’, but being disciplined isn’t even close to being legalistic. I know that, but my flesh likes to convince me otherwise. I like to make excuses.
Well, I’m done making excuses. I’ve decided to take action to combat my inaction. My action? Education.
Enter the latest addition to my library:
A lot of people think that just because someone is on staff at a church, that they are either automatically predisposed to a rich spiritual life, but it’s actually the opposite - I think the enemy works harder at pushing us to the lukewarm middle where we are most ineffective. If I can be convinced that everything else is more important, I won’t put the needed effort into my relationship with God and I ultimately disintegrate from the inside out.
I’m not going to let that happen.
Over the next few weeks I’m going to post some of the insights that I learn from these pages and through accountability (meaning YOU blasting me in the comments if I don’t follow through) I will learn how to be a self-disciplined Christian in pursuit of Godliness.
