Yesterday was the Sunday where evangelicals across the theological landscape stress the spiritual disciplines like bible reading and prayer. Of course we should, but Pastor Matt said something that struck a chord and I paraphrase, “are you playing with the tools or are you digging for treasure”.
So as we rededicate ourselves to these disciplines this new year, might the end goal be the treasure that is Christ and not the activity of “digging” itself.

Spur
If you attend church, let it spur you to attend to the church.
If you tithe, let it spur you to give your life away.
If you preach, let it spur you to truthful living.
If you bow your head and close your eyes as someone else prays, let it spur you to live humbly and reverently.
If you partake of communion, let it spur you to commune with the Father minute by minute.
If you were baptized, let it spur you to shine your light before men.
If you raise your hands during the music, let it spur you to a life of surrender.
If you serve in organized ministries, let it spur you to spend quality time with the broken and oppressed.
If you receive a blessing on Sundays, let it spur you to be a blessing everyday.
