Discipline of Silence
For at least 10 minutes a day for the next week I am going to practice silence in my life. On the Mount of Transfiguration, God tells the three disciples present that they need to listen to his son - Jesus. We all want to know the best way to respond to Jesus and we think this response will involve dynamic action and big gestures. But, what if our first and most appropriate response to Jesus is to simply listen to him. God commanded us to. I need to listen to Jesus this week. It will require intentionality of time, stillness, and the absence of noise.

Paul Verse of the Day
Romans 1:1 “Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.” - I recently learned about our big C calling and our little c calling. Our big C calling is to be saved and in relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our little c callings are to a vocation, ministry, role, or action.

The Paul Verse of the Day Reading Plan
When I read Paul in the Bible I often get lost. He writes in such a circular manner that it sends me off the track frequently. Still, he wrote the majority of the non-gospels New Testament and I can’t just ignore him because I find reading him somewhat challenging.
So, I have started a new practice. I will be reading one verse of Paul a day. I am starting with Romans and going from there. I will post the Paul verse of day here and offer any thoughts if they come to me. I think this will keep me out of the weeds of Paul’s writing and help me focus on what really matters - “Christ in me the hope of glory.” Won’t you join me in this practice?
