Forward Living


More Sessions I was on Tony Morgans website today and I was struck by something Mark Beeson said Granger Church - here it is
""No one ever drifts to greatness. Want to be a great musician? Methodical practice is required. Do you long for athletic prowess? You must train, and train methodically. Building a great marriage, a great family, a great friendship or a great career requires the ongoing discipline of methodical effort. Wesley had it right; the methodical practice of scriptural holiness is the way to maturity.

"Just as God calls us into community, Wesley called his “awakened” to live in community. Iron sharpens iron and Wesley knew the best strategy for discipleship included the honesty (and sharpening effect) of Christ-centered friendships." --Mark Beeson, senior pastor of Granger Community Church as quoted on LeadingSmart.com
In case you've missed it Tim's blog has a series of posts taken from an interview with Mark Beeson that will challenge your personal spiritual development and your ministry strategy.


Wow! So what am I doing to grow!

Thank you Tony and Mark for pushing us forward - lets live forward and boldly!

It is good to know We can through God - Lets get Crooked

granger's quote begs this question "so discipline is the path to greatness?"
