Feelings can creep into other areas of our lives, changing the overall tone. They may take over our entire being and so determine the outcome of our lives as a whole.
This is amazing this is exactly where I am getting in touch with my over all feelings and put them into perspective so I could be a better Christian.I have alot of work ahead of me and alot of challanges but I know the outcome will be worth it.
For a very long time I lived with an underlying condition of anger. Over time God has helped me to replace it with love and forgiveness. I guess the other underlying condition that shapes the things I do and say is approval. My hope and prayer is that this can be replaced with a sense of security in who I am as a child of God.
Welcome to our online discussion of Dallas Willard and Jan Johnson's Renovation of the Heart in Daily Practice: Experiments in Spiritual Transformation.
Each day, Monday-Friday, I will post the title of that day's chapter and maybe an excerpt from the chapter. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to read that day's selection from the book then click on the comment link and add your $.02 to the conversation. If you are a highlighter maybe just share what you highlighted and why you highlighted it. Maybe something really resonated with you as you tackled that day's experiment, share that with us. Maybe, as happened with me, the first time I read the book, God will reveal something to you.
Read the comments that others leave, respond to each other, ask for clarification, let someone know you connected with a comment they left.
My hope is that working through this book together we will get much more out of it, we might not only grow in Christlikeness but grow closer to each other.
If you have any technical difficulties please email me at tkay3atcharterdotnet.
