Live With Godly Discipline

From Sunday's sermon:

How we live and serve God today will determine how we will be judged of our actions one day as we stand accountable before the Lord. 

How to Live With Godly Discipline:
1.  Be determined in the mind to live for Jesus
This begins with a commitment to spend time in God's Word. 

2.  Be watchful and disciplined in our prayers.
Be committed to pray and be consistent in prayer. 
Be conformed - to God's will.  Instead of asking God for our things, may we ask what He wants for us.  His words will become our words.
This leads to a God honoring life which speaks to a lost world through our actions and words.
A God honoring life doesn't happen by chance, but by godly discipline.

3.  Live with generous compassion.
When our mind changes, our heart changes.  The path of God's power travels from the mind to the heart. 
A committed mind to seek the Lord through God's Word and prayer will conform our will to His and enable Him to shine brightly through our lives.

Stay tuned for the love of Christ shining through us:
