Growing Strong as God Followers

June 7, 2010

This morning my devotional reading included Psalm 119:11 which says “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”  Likewise, Psalm 1 explains that the one who lives a “blessed” life delights in God’s law and meditates upon it day and night.  This catalyst for spiritual growth is woven throughout the fabric of Scripture.

As I considered similar passages, I started asking myself what other disciplines, practices and lifestyles might enable us to grow ever stronger as God followers.

Five Fundamental Lifestyles:

1. Contemplation & Adoration of the Creator

2. Consideration & Emulation of Jesus Christ

3. Service & Sharing with those in Need

4. Proclamation & Propagation of Christian Thought & Spirituality

5. Responsibility & Accountability within a Christian Community

6. Dying to & Denying Oneself (via Jacob Walsh, www.eology.wordpress.com)

What do you think?  What would you add to the list?
