VIM - Means

The vision and solid intention to obey Christ will naturally lead us to seek out and apply the means to that end. Transformation will require a solid effort on our part. When not on the spot, I can retrain my thinking by study and meditation on Christ and the teachings of the gospels. I can consciously practice the disciplines which produce appropriate fruit in my life.

What benefits have I experienced from the practice of the disciplines in the past? What disciplines are calling to me to taste them this week? Which have I never considered?

  • solitude
  • silence
  • prayer
  • meditation
  • study
  • confession
  • reflection
  • service
  • secrecy
  • frugality
  • fasting
  • community
  • worship
  • celebration
  • ???
