Habits of Faithful People

When we think of spiritually-uplifting habits, Bible reading and prayer come to mind. However, we're looking at a different kind of habit today. It's the amount of value we place on an activity that will establish a pattern of behavior. Let's explore this a bit.



If someone hands us a $1.00 bill, we wouldn't get all that excited. However, if a person hands us a $100.00 bill, that will make us sit up and take notice. We treat different situations with varied levels of interest.



Dynamic - pertaining to or characterized by energy or effective action; vigorously active or forceful. In this case, we are fully invested. We put lots of time and energy into this situation or project.



Apathetic - having little or no interest or concern. There's not a whole lot going on here.



Erratic - having no certain or definite course; wandering: not fixed. Here we're bouncing from one thing to another, never really making any headway.



Check out the full message at our website. It's available via the sermon player or podcasting. What kind of habits did Jesus establish in his earthly life? See how we can change our spiritual threshold by altering our habits.
