I’m a hobby woodworker and have been since I was a kid. When I first started working with wood, all my tools were hand-tools: a saw, a hammer, a hand-drill with bits, and a file. Over the years I’ve collected many tools—both power and hand-tools. I’ve come to appreciate the unique capabilities of tools like a finishing plane and a biscuit joiner. The spiritual disciplines, or following skills as I like to call them, are much like tools. Some of the more common tools in our walk with Christ are prayer and reading the Bible. But I think many of us are “tool-poor.” That is, we’re...

Jesus Christ provides us with the model for practicing solitude. Of Jesus, Luke writes, “Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” (Luke 5:16) Here’s a simple definition of solitude: getting alone with God in the absence of noise and distraction. Solitude is getting alone with God. Solitude is not simply getting alone. It’s getting alone with God. In solitude, we go out to spend time with God alone. Solitude is neither loneliness, nor the hermit lifestyle of isolation. Solitude only has meaning in the context of relationships. The deeper any relationship, the greater our ...

This is a book on the discipline of resting that's part of the Summit Leadership Series for men. Because of our drive, busyness, and fixation on accomplishment, resting may well be the most difficult of all the following skills (spiritual disciplines). And yet, God clearly wants us to rest. In fact, He deliberately modeled rest for us, and then He listed rest as one of the Ten Commandments! Jesus declared rest as one of God's gifts to mankind. But there is also some mystery around resting: - Why do we find it so difficult to rest? - Why does God want us to rest? - What does resting look ...

Life in Christ is not a solo endeavor. Spiritual partnership is one of the most powerful, yet most neglected, spiritual disciplines for growing in our relationship with Christ.

At nineteen, I was focused on girls and motorcycles. I had a relationship with Christ, but it was on my terms. After leaving college for lack of funds, I went to work in a feed mill in downtown Minneapolis. In that feed mill, working under very poor conditions, I met two guys whom God used to change my life. These two former hippies had come to Christ and were totally surrendered to Him. I had never experienced men living out their faith so boldly and authentically. They exuded God’s character. On breaks, they’d pull tattered New Testaments from their pockets and devour God’s Word as ...

Communication is one of the most strategic factors on the battlefield. Open communication lines are vital for coordination and execution of the mission. If the enemy can intercept or disrupt our communications, our mission is at risk. Prayer is our communication link with God. Is it any wonder that the evil one would like nothing better than to disrupt our communications with God? If our communication with the Father is interrupted, our relationship is jeopardized. Jesus Christ has put us on alert until He returns. Jesus urges us to “be on the alert,” “keep watch,” and “be ready....
