69: Quiet Time Coaching, "A key to spiritual growth in 2019"

Malcolm Cox

Are you ready spiritually for the year ahead? I share some thoughts prompted by a book I've just started reading.

Introduction to "Glittering Vices" Rebecca DeYoung

• The New Testament uses both active and passive voice “Make every effort” (2 Peter 1) but also “Be transformed” (Romans 12).

• Studying our sinful disorder and deformation should lead us to spiritual disciplines (our efforts) that open us to receive God’s gracious power (God’s work).

• Grace-empowered practice reorders our desires, conforms our character to Christ, and transforms our lives.

Questions for us to consider:

1. How will I be transformed?

2. How will I make every effort?

Please add your comments on this week’s topic. We learn best when we learn in community.

Do you have a question about teaching the Bible? Is it theological, technical, practical? Send me your questions or suggestions. Here’s the email: [e-mail].

“Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” (Psalms 100:2 NIV11)

God bless, Malcolm
