Stirring Divine Activity: Workflows & Lifehacks for Inward Transformation

Part 3 of our series that asks, “Am I the Person I want to be?”

Workflow = steps to get a job done.

Lifehack = any simple solution that makes your life easier or better. It solves problems.

Tools for Workflows & Lifehacks for Inward Transformation

This Sunday (09-05-10) we completed the last part of our latest mini-series. We're poking around our own hearts, asking, "Am I the person I want to be?" The goal, of course, is to allow God to make us the people He wants us to be. Part 3 focused on "what we variously called "spiritual "workflows" and "lifehacks" related to inward transformation. Our goal was to do some intentional thinking about how to see deeper, more dramatic, more consistent change in our lives. God wants to change us, but if we are not actively "work[ing] out" our salvation, we may see little real transformation take place over time.

As with anything else, spiritual development takes time, thought, and hard work. Still, the old axiom "work smarter, not harder" applies (to a certain extent). We can read our Bibles until our eyes bulge out of our heads, but if our hearts are not right, or if our goals are misguided it won't help much. The goal of our "spiritual workflows" message was to find ways to be consistent and stay fresh while seeking God.

Why people get stale. I am convinced that we can be consistent in prayer, study, etc., and still grow stale and cold toward the Lord. It shouldn't . . .
