 | God
is inviting us to go on a journey into his heart and into the good life made available
through Jesus: "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly"
(John 10:10). But entering into this abundant life takes more than wishful thinking;
it takes a well-thought-out, feasible plan. | |
|
The first part of this plan
is a balanced vision, which we find when incorporating into our lives practices
seen in Jesus' life and the history of the Church. These practices, or spiritual
disciplines, mature us in traditions of life and faith: | | |
| | | | 
|
The second part of this
plan is to implement a practical strategy that will help us stay on course:
participating in a Spiritual Formation Group. These fellowships of two to seven
people meet regularly to encourage and hold one another accountable to the practice
of spiritual disciplines and balanced growth into Christlikeness.
RENOVARÉ can help you on your journey by providing
a balanced vision and a practical strategy for the formation of
Christ-like character, with the ultimate goal of learning more and more to love
God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and your neighbor as yourself.
If this direction for living your life sounds appealing please feel free to use
the RENOVARÉ web page as a resource for ideas, inspiration,
and future directions. | | |
