Getting started can be a challenge.
Lift off isn't easy.
An object at rest tends to stay at rest. (I didn't think of that; Isaac Newton did, way back in the 17th Century.) So if you're launching a new initiative, taking a new course or changing your ways, you shouldn't be surprised when you need to expend some energy to get things moving in a new direction.
The Bible often references our need to encourage one another. With a new life comes new demands, and I think we can help each other live that new life by sharing eight weeks of apprenticeship in The Tangible Kingdom Primer.
If you'd like to move beyond knowledge-based discipleship to action-oriented followership, grab some friends and encourage them to join you for a few weeks of effort that could lift us all to new life.
Acts 5:19-20 - During the night, an angel of the Lord opened the doors and led the apostles outside. The angel said, "Go stand in the Temple and tell the people everything about this new life."
Thanks Mark, I can use this one, It's timely for me.
