Are We In a Rut?

Blog

Have we become a slave to the humdrum activities of our life?  When was the last time any of us broke away from our routine and did something unusual, adventuresome or even risky?  Has unbiblical instruction from well meaning people robbed us of enjoying life to its fullest?

I am so happy to report the good news; we don’t have to live this way.  The Lord has a much better lifestyle in mind for His followers.  Jesus said:  “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”--John 10:10.  He wants us to stop existing and start living.  I believe God is calling us all to get out of our ruts and begin living the exhilarating life He has in mind for us.  He wants us to be bold, joyful and godly.  As I approach this stage of my life, I am impressed again with the commands of Solomon in Ecclesiastes 11-12:1 and Caleb’s words in the book of Numbers.  It’s in these passages I see a number of commands and an example that are reflective of the Lord’s heart for us today.  We must not go on as we have lived before.

Intro: Eagle Flight to Higher Heights

Eagle Flight Seminar

Every time we see an eagle in flight, we should be reminded of the power that God has made available to us. The flight of an eagle also teaches us how essential it is that we spend time with God, and that we gain a personal and accurate view of who He is through our time with Him! The problem is, we aren't exercising our opportunities to be with Him; thus we don't know Him or His power.

Introduction to Spiritual Disciplines

Eagle Flight Seminar

What can we expect as we practice spiritual disciplines? In this study, we will learn some lessons from Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42. Here we will discover how to maintain Jesus as our focus and how to be rooted in Him. Mary models for us the value of practicing spiritual disciplines—spiritual health habits. As we choose to rest in Him, i.e., to be in His presence, we will see worry dissipate, our priorities get in line with our Lord’s plans for us, and our activities more focused and prioritized.

Journal Writing

Eagle Flight Seminar

Journal writing is a discipline that will be invaluable in retaining the lessons God is teaching us now, as well as providing a memory bank for the ways God has ministered to us in the past. Many devout people have kept such a record of the ways God has dealt with them. Here we will learn the basics of Journal writing, how to write a psalm and how to turn life's experiences into praise.
