5 Steps To Developing More Discipline
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles
Discipline is an integral part of a successful Christian life (1 Corinthians 9:24-27). This morning I’m posting a link to Michael Hyatt’s web site where he presents 5 Steps To Developing More Discipline. I’ve added some appropriate Scriptures.
The five steps are:
1) Determine your goal (Philippians 3:13-14).
2) List your reasons (Philippians 3:7-12).
3) Identify likely obstacles (Matthew 10:34-39; 2 Corinthians 11:23-28).
4) Develop new behaviors (2 Corinthians 10:5-6; cf. Ephesians 4:21-32; Philippians 4:4-9; Colossians 3:1-15).
5) Stay focused (Hebrews 12:2 NASB).
Mr. Hyatt concludes his article by saying:
“Discipline is not really about will-power so much as it is focusing on what you really want. If you get clear on that, it suddenly becomes much easier.“
What is the Christian’s main focus?
“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith” (Hebrews 12:2 NASB).
