~Share Your Heart~ "12 Disciplines To Master In Order To Be A Successful Christian"

This list was provided by Spoken Word Church's Pastor Drew Harris.

1) Must have a prayer life
2) Do Service
3) Worship
4) Be submitted
5) Confess sins
6) Study the Word
7) Celebration- How God has blessed you...
8) Meditation- Repeat verses and internalize them...
9) Fasting
10) Simplicity-Simplify your life
11) Solitude- Master being lonley
12)Guidance- Learn to hear God's voice & recognize it./Act on the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

I found this list of disciplines to be very informative and helpful for anyone to be a successful Christian. At first glance the list looks complicated because it's a long list. If you take a look at each discipline individually they start to look more achievable. For some Christians, they may feel like they have already applied all these aspects in their lives, but the key is to NEVER stop doing them. Once we have started a routine we have to keep up with it and not take "breaks" from it!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Spoken Word Church's official blog. Spoken Word church is aiming to connect people all over the world regardless of their current views on Christianity, through various media outlets. We welcome productive discussions and no censorship over what needs to be said. This blog will cover tough questions that everyone faces in life as well as share testimonies and experiences of various people.

It is our observation that not enough churches are addressing core issues because of the fear of loosing their following. Due to this fear the church is keeping their congregation disabled and subsequently preventing God's people from progressing during their Christian walk. This will no longer be an issue!

Various church members will be posting on the blog according to whatever they feel led to share. Feel free to leave comments and any questions you want answered. We will address your questions as soon as possible.

Keep checking back for more updates!
