Relocating and adjusting

My life has been in a state of flux for awhile now, and I have not given attention to my blog. I hope everyone understands. Moving is traumatic, especially when it happens the way we have decided on. As I get acclimated and get into more of a routine, I'll continue the blog. I have much I'm excited about that I hope to share and discuss with you. Remember me in prayer.

The Worship Assembly: A Time of Encouragement

In our last segment, we looked at worship as a lifestyle.

Encouragement in spiritual formation and discipleship is accomplished within the body of believers, the family of God. As Christians, we are members of the body of Christ. Every aspect of our life as a Christian is a body issue. Being a part of the body necessit...

More thoughts on spiritual formation

Spiritual formation is not simply for the spiritual elite. Actually, preachers, teachers, elders, and others who are sometimes viewed as such are normal people, like everyone else. Some have ventured farther on their spiritual journey than others, but growing into Christlikeness is for all Christians. God predetermined and foreordained that we would all become like Jesus (Romans 8:29). Paul strove mightily among the Galatian churches to encourage and assit their becoming like Christ (Galatians 4:19). The journey to become like Jesus takes patience, determination, and most of all grace. God brings us along teaching and changing us as we go.

It is not a cookie cutter approach that God takes, but He hand-crafts each one of us, carefully using His Spirit, His word, other Christians, and life's experiences to bring us to be like Jesus. Spiritual disciplines are important to the process, but they ar...
