Episode 2: Meditation

00:00 / 00:25:53

Hosts: Tommy Bridges and John Fugh, Jr.

Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth is a spiritual guidebook explaining the twelve Spiritual Disciplines and how they can bring a person closer to God. The disciplines are divided into three groups, Inward, Outward, and Corporate. The twelve disciplines are meditation, prayer, fasting, study, simplicity, solitude, submission, service, confession, worship, guidance, and celebration. The discussion of each discipline is supported with Scriptures and scholarly quotes that help readers grow closer to God.

How to Handle Life Quakes [Worship]

September 21, 2020September 21, 2020

First Steps – September 21, 2020

Recently a good friend sent this devotional to me. Originally penned by Paul David Trip (New Morning Mercies), I thought it was worthwhile to share.

In a world of justice gone bad, where disloyalty brings daily pain, where government is corrupt, and even faithful friends come up short; where the haves get more and the have-nots wonder why; and where it is very tempting to look over the fence at someone else’s life and wonder why so much good has fallen on him [or her], it is so good to know that you never play favorites. You lavish riches of grace on each and every one of your children. You meet every child’s every need, and you do it with unbroken faithfulness. So I will quit keeping score. I will not judge your goodness. No, I will rest in the bounty of your mercy.

I’m not sure what lines resonate with you, but for me, the lines “very tempting to look over the fence” and “I will quit keeping score.” It has been my experience that if I focus on God’s goodness, the desire to keep score or look over the fence just doesn’t matter anymore. Spend your time reflecting on the goodness of God. The rest will take care of itself.
