#762 Little Foxes and Relationships – Neglect of Spiritual Disciplines

Inspired by and adapted from a sermon entitled Catching the Little Foxes by Dr. D. L. Lowrie, Sr.; used with permission.

Good Day Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

It was the Apostle Paul’s desire to have a spiritual walk with the Lord that would make him more like Christ, a desire that should be that of every Christian.  To be more like Christ, we faithfully exercise spiritual disciplines in order to mature spiritually; however, our walk and fellowship with the Lord can be endangered when we neglect the spiritual disciplines.  We need to ask ourselves some important questions.  Too tired to spend time with the Lord in a daily devotional of Bible study and prayer?  Too busy to worship the Lord on a regular basis at a local congregation?  Too aloof to spend time in fellowship with fellow believers?  Too timid to witness about the Lord to unbelieving family members, friends, and neighbors?  Prayerfully ask yourself and answer these questions, recognizing neglect of spiritual disciplines can have everlasting consequences.

Are you constantly maturing spiritually in your Christian walk?

“For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.  But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.”   (II Peter 1:8-9)

 May God Richly Bless You Today
