The Power of the Holy Spirit

“If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25 NASB95). One mark of the disciple is depending on the power of the Holy Spirit.

Practicing the Spiritual Disciplines

We cannot achieve righteousness on our own. However, when we have been identified with Christ, He gives us practices to conform us to His image.

Our True Pursuit

“What do you seek?” We ought to ask ourselves this question Jesus asks at the outset of His ministry (John 1:38). Our choices show us what we truly pursue.

Living in the Presence of God

Intimacy with Christ results in activity in the world, not the other way around. In order to do things for Christ, we first need to be in Him.

Our Position in the Heavenly Places

It is often said that comparison is the enemy of contentment—and this is true. We find security only in our position in Christ in the heavenly places.

A Disciple’s Perspective

The things of this world clamor for our attention. But they are not worthy of pursuit—they will pass away.

Developing Skill in the Art of Living

Wisdom is skill in the art of living. The wisdom exercises in “A Guide to Practicing God’s Presence” can teach you how to think God’s thoughts after Him.

Time and Work

Righteousness requires training, not trying. It involves redeeming the time, doing temporal tasks for the glory of God and submitting your plans to Him.

Engaging the Senses

How often do you engage your God-given senses to purposefully enjoy Him? The sensory exercises in A Guide to Practicing God’s Presence can help.

Abide in the Word of God

The biblical practice of abiding in Christ is culturally atypical but spiritually essential. Incorporating Scripture into your habits can help.
