Teens - Spiritual Discipline

Posted by John Glinski on November 27, 2007 - 10:43am

This fall, the teens are digging into the concept of "Spiritual Discipline." Whether you want to graduate, get your dream job, or make it to the moon, it takes discipline to achieve your dreams.

With our spiritual lives, it's no different. God wants to see us succeed, and has given us everything we need to see our spiritual dreams fulfilled. (Eph 1:3, 2 Tim 3:17)

Even still, it takes discipline for us to put to use those spiritual gifts God has given us. Becoming a Christian - and staying faithful through the trials of life - is not one big decision we make in life. Instead it is the sum of every decision we make, big or small, to choose right over wrong, good over evil, God over self. (Luke 9:23-25)

We're exploring the importance of regular prayer and Bible study in shaping our character and our future. We'll see how God transforms us into the people we want to become through his word, and how this will help us to see his good, pleasing, and perfect will. (Rom 12:2)
