Walking away with a good measure of conviction and ideas to ponder more. You did a great job of tenderly, yet boldly presenting these challenging ideas. Excellent.
I liked this article. I felt convicted and encouraged. I don't usually hang with people outside of my Christian bubble, mostly because I don't go anywhere. I have five kids, and four live at home. I have my podcast and perhaps non-believers listen, but I am not sure.
All I know is that my whole life I have been sheltered by Christianity, so talking to people who aren't is not easy for me. I am open to it, though, but nervous.
Habit 7 was helpful for me. I have had a bad habit of trying to invest in everyone, and it started draining me and discouraging me. This helpful tip will really free me up to disciple whom I really should.
This was so good I read it again and made applications for each habit.
Applications from 7 Habits That Quietly Kill Disciple Making
Habit 1: Filling Every Quiet Moment With Stimulation
Application: I am usually pretty good at this one. Spend 30 additional minutes a day just thinking.
Habit 2: Treating Your Schedule Like a Fortress
Application: I actually applied this one over the last two weeks where I “entertained” interruptions like Jesus. This was an application from the Mark 1-6 study.
Habit 3: Consuming More Than Obeying
Application: Read Mark’s post again and come up with an application for each habit.
Habit 4: Living Entirely Inside Christian Subculture
Application: Find a morning to just sit in a local diner and drink coffee with an open Bible and an invitation to pray (Saturdays?)
Habit 5: Keeping Your Table Closed
Application: This will be tough right now but I will think and pray about this one.
Habit 6: Protecting Your Comfort From Costly Allegiance
Application: I’m usually pretty good at this one too. If someone engages with me I’m going to take as far as they will let me through the “conversation quadrants.”
Habit 7: Spending Your Time With Nonresponsive People
Application: I have some relationships I can think of that need pruning. I’ve been praying about this for some time now.
Wow. At some subconscious level I have known most of these. But you brought everything together so concisely and clearly that they have become concrete in my mind. I will definitely be sharing this.
