Ten Powerful Principles for Progress in Life (Part 1 of 2)

Guest: Cory Butler, Lead Students Minister, Citizens Church

 

• Embracing limitations - learning to rest and cease striving

• Understanding and appreciating the importance of Sabbath rest!
• The cultural pull is “to do more” - this will be connected to #3 - your commitment to one thing means a rejection of something else!
• Good resource to address the place of technology in your family is The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in Its Proper Place by Andy Crouch

 

• Listening to the HS and obeying Him - which means prioritizing time to listen

• Distraction is the greatest threat to our spiritual lives right now. Prayerlessness is us thinking that can we do the things that God has called us to on our own - not possible!

 

• Saying yes to something means saying no to something else
• Your Life…Well Spent: The Eternal Rewards of Investing Yourself and Your Money in Your Family by Russ Crosson
• You need to say yes to reading - develop a reading plan and have others hold you accountable to reach your reading goals.

 

• Modeling/Imitating the life of Jesus

• Be “interruptible” - look for God-moments and divine appointments!

• Habits of the Household: Practicing the Story of God in Everyday Family Rhythms by Justin Whitmel Earley

 

• The beauty of discipline - enjoying that self-control that comes from the HS

• Don’t look at fasting as a lack of something good, but preparation for something great!
