The proper retraining and nurturing of the body is essential in Christlikeness. When our heart (will, spirit) comes to new life in God, the old "programs" still run, primarily in our body
I was sitting hear thinking of this and I wasnt shore how write about this until it came to me that old habits die hard but they do die i realize this when I hang out with family and friends who are not Christian things that never used to make me comfortable make me very uncomfortable today.That is due to my heart being open to God in my life and working to be who God wants me to be.
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.
