Habititudes
We hear stories all the time of people who “heard” from God or were led by God to do great things, inspire great visions, think great thoughts. Why is it that others seem to be able to tap into seasons of spiritual inspiration and you and I don’t? It may because we are not taping into the disiplines that were laid out by early church fathers and we are dependent upon all the new ideas and concepts of spiritual growth.
The Sermon on the Mount is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, message ever preached by our Lord. In it, he describes the person that God is after. In it, he describes the attitude, character, and actions of one who is sold out for the Kingdom of God. If we could develop habits (disciplines) in our daily lives that would allow us to hear from God, inspire great visions, and think great thoughts, perhaps it would also create the transformation that God wants and that we dream about.
Sunday nights, starting January 11th, we are going to tap into those habits that can transform you and allow you to hear again, the voice of God, in our busy and chaotic lives.

I can’t wait. Recently, I made the decision to pursue full time ministry at a conference I attended in Tennessee. Afterwards, I felt a peace about it. Personally , I never saw myself in a standard vocation like a doctor or lawyer, I saw myself doing worship for the rest of my life. I believe God has given me the gift of the drums and I just want to use it to give Him glory, although it is far too easy to flip things around and elevate ourselves. I also know I desperately wish to connect with God and hear Him in my life. I want to be in-tune with Him so I may be a REAL follower of Him; not a person who just stands there each week reading words from a screen. I want more than that! Just to know that that is possible and a viable option drives me to pursue this. I have to say this again, I can’t wait!
