2. If I were to help my current students really gain serious ground in applying this teaching about the disciplines, what would I do? How can I begin right away to encourage them in their own spiritual development through the disciplines?

3. Am I legalistic in my application of the disciplines, either for myself or others? What steps should or must I take to move from the letter that kills to the Spirit that gives life?

4. How can I be a better example of a disciplined disciple of Christ to my students? What one thing will I do right away to place myself on the right track regarding these issues for them, and for me?

5. What one thing will I trust God for as I take my next step in my journey to become a more disciplined person?

Prayer and Affirmation to God

We cannot become the kind of people whose lives compel faith if we are unwilling to sacrifice ourselves for the things that matter most. Every step in our progress toward success is a sacrifice. We gain by losing; grow by dwindling; live by dying. ~ R. D. Hitchcock

What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me – practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

~ Philippians 4.9
