Each year in my business career I was called in for a performance review.
So I got to thinking about my own Spiritual performance, how to check my progress on :-
LOVE - JOY - PEACE - PATIENCE - KINDNESS - GOODNESS - FAITHFULNESS -GENTLENESS - SELF CONTROL.
My head started to spin like a washing machine.
Where do I start ? So many things going round in my head.
I decided to take them one by one and dissect them, break them down, and let God's Spirit speak to me. Immediately one word came into my psyche: ATTITUDE !!
What was my attitude to the Apostle Paul who compiled the list for discipleship.
Discipleship is about learning how we can have the correct mindset.
Where do I begin ? Back to basics.
This is where our Cell groups are vital in taking us back to basics, making sure we grasp the fundamentals and living them out daily.
John Stott in his book "The Living church" states : "I do not think it is an exaggeration to say,therefore that small groups, Christian family or fellowship groups are indispensable for our growth into spiritual maturity"
No matter what we think about groups they build upon our attitudes to how we live our lives.
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude"
( William James Psychologist/Philosopher)
