4 Excerpt from the Sermon Journal, Monday, July 24, 2017 Written by Pastor Tom Harrison Most of us resist discipline. For many, the disciplined life is not our bias. We prefer a Lazy-Boy recliner (not a Worker Boy that chair wouldn t sell). Yet if we don t exercise discipline, we find discipline exercising us. Unfortunately, sometimes we don t seem to learn until we have suffered. Discipline is hard, but being disciplined may be even harder. Cooperating with God s way pays far better dividends than sloth, which is one of the major spiritual inhibitors to growth. Richard Foster s classic book, Celebration of Discipline, is helpful with specific applications on this topic. Jesus used an analogy about pruning the vine to stress discipline. When we discipline one area of life, other areas seem to follow naturally, too. Notes
