Whose job is spiritual transformation?

 

It is a joint project between us and God. (Phil 2:12-13)

  • Our role: "work out"

Constant spiritual energy and effort.

  • God's role: "work in"

Empowered and controlled by God.

 

It is through intentional, transforming habits that we get the environment right.

 

 

Jesus used spiritual habits. (Mark 1:35-39)

 

Helps for our Habits

  • Training, not Trying.
  • Tools, not Target.
  • Timely, not Incessantly.

 

 

Take Home Idea: Followers of Christ rearrange their lives around habits that will change their lives.
