The Tools of Transformation

"

A power drill is only as effective as the electricity it is connected to. But that electricity needs a way to get to the drill! As believers, on our own, we can do nothing, but if we are connected to the power of God, abiding in the vine, we can do all things through Him. But what are these "power cords" that connect us, and how do we work them into our lives in order to abide in the power of God? ABOUT THIS SERIES: Your habits form you more than you form your habits. One study claims that 40% of our day's decisions come from habits. Most times, we don't even see these habits; we take them for granted, we mindlessly carry them out, and we move along with life. And yet, every time we do them, they are shaping us, reinforcing patterns, desires, and strengthening particular passions. In short, they are leading us in worship. How do we take back control of our habits and cultivate them in a way that leads us towards godliness and a love for Jesus? One way is to see our habits as liturgy: repetitions done to facilitate worship. When we see our whole life as liturgy, it changes how we approach every decision.
