You are invited to the well-ordered way for 2018!
Launching January 2018, this intentional, intimate, online spiritual community will embark on a quest together: Crafting a Rule of Life.
“Your personal rule of life is a holistic description of the Spirit-empowered rhythms and relationships that create, redeem, sustain and transform the life God invites you to humbly fulfill for Christ’s glory.” ~Steve Macchia, author of Crafting a Rule of Life
Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
-Romans 12:1-2 The Message, emphasis mine
To walk with God down this well-ordered way, we will explore with Him our unique individual lives which include our:
roles…gifts…desires…vision…mission
From this exploration with Jesus we will then form our personal rule of life in the areas of our:
time…trust…temple…treasure…talent
We will wrap up with exploring our “Commitment to the Body of Christ” and the “Context of a Spiritual Community.”
