Continuing our theme from last week there are a number of ways you can strengthen, freshen and jump start your own spiritual life. The key is to understand that it's you're responsibility, not your pastor's or your spouse. YOU MUST OWN IT! Let me offer ten more ways to enhance your daily discipleship with God:
Use a hymnal (or book of choruses) during your daily devotional. Sing them. Pray them. Focus on the great truths found in so many songs of our faith!
Go on a short term mission trip. You will receive so many more blessings than you can give. It's amazing, just try it!
Do an in depth Bible book study with others if possible, but technology makes it possible if you must do it alone. You'll learn how to study the Bible for yourself.
Develop a way to share your testimony with someone in 60 seconds! You'll be amazed at the opportunities you'll have.
Ask people how you can pray for them---then do it!
Adopt a city, nation or people group to pray for regularly.
Adopt a missionary (family) and pray for them each day.
Conduct a personal or family quarterly mission or ministry project. We did this when our kids were little and they had a blast doing stuff for others and learning early 'it's not about you or me.'
Sharpen your saw-----attend ministry training events at least a couple of times a year.
Ask your pastor or church staff member what you can do to help them---then DO IT!
