* It's good to suffer loss, for it draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves. * Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God.

ABCs of Practical Christian Living: Review and Overview


  1. Accountability: Who are you accountable for (Gal 6:1)? To (Heb 3:13)?
  2. Beauty: Are you enraptured by the beauty of Christ (Ps 27:4)? Or by a sense of duty?
  3. Community: Do you sense the unity of Christian community (Ps 133:1)? Or the pressure of a wish dream?
  4. Delight: Are you happy? How do you find delight (Ps 37:4)?
  5. Experience: Do you taste the goodness of God (Ps 34:8; 1 Pet 2:3)? Or is it just head knowledge?
  6. Father: Do you know your father and your Father's love for you (Ps 103:13)?
  7. Freedom: Is your Christian life one of freedom (Gal 5:1; Jn 8:36)? Or a sense of slavery?
  8. Friendship: Do you have true friends who stab you in the front (Prov 27:5-6)?
  9. Forgetfulness: Are you self-forgetful (1 Cor 4:3-4)? Or easily hurt and offended by others?
  10. HHHOT: Are you happy, honest, humble, open and transparent?
  11. Gentleness: Are you strong enough to be gentle with others (Phil 4:5)?
