We often think that its another slick series, a great missions opportunity, making sure they are serving...but those are all side effects of pushing people towards righteousness. The sad thing is that most churches don't spend their time or money on that. I'm glad to see you develop the disciplines in your people Ron!! Well done bro!

Talking to God in the morning and throughout the day - being attentive to what He might want to say to me - has helped me grow spiritually. If I don't know where to start reading in the morning, many times I will purchase a Bible study and go through it as the Lord leads and just listen to what He is trying to tell me that day.

What a great plan in following strong after Jesus. I have been influenced over the years by Bill Hybel's personal spiritual growth plan. I spent 2008 in Romans 12 memorizing that chapter. This year I'm in Romans 8 every day. What a blessing that has been. Have a great week.

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:15:10 +0000 http://www.ronedmondson.com/?p=4530#comment-4405 I own many Bibles, but I have one set aside as my praying Bible. In the back of it, I keep an index card with the names of people who need prayer on a daily basis. This acts as a reminder to me to lift them up to the Lord, and mention specific things for them. Because it is in my Bible, it is easy to turn to the New Testament prayers of Paul. These are proven and tested prayers from the ages to lift up people in all circumstances, but especially believers and leaders. I try to keep an easy yoke. Every few weeks, I take out my card and update it being careful not to put so much on the card that I feel overwhelmed or overloaded. There are N.T. prayers in Ephesians 1, 3, Philippians 1 and Colossians 1. Those who are bold may daily put on the armor in Ephesians 6. It might help to highlight them so that you can find them quickly and easily. You can pray through all of them in a brief period of time. If you follow this plan, be sure to include your family and your pastor. God sees. God rewards. I own many Bibles, but I have one set aside as my praying Bible.
