Recap
We're in a tale of 2 kingdoms - Empire vs Shalom
In Genesis 1 we sort of have God making space and telling creation to fill it - ends badly
Story continues with mankind making some spaces - tabernacle and temple - and God fills it (so much that the priests literally couldn't enter in - see previous episode)
So maybe we need to be creating space, and expect that God will fill it - we are the temple after all
Prezi presentation basically encompassed all relevant notes, I put things I found convicting personally here
Prayer
- prayer journaling
- fixed-hour prayer
- alarm goes off every X hours, say a liturgical prayer
- contemplative prayer
- "Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner, amen"
- Meditative
- praying the text
I would never think about segmenting into individual disciplines... I've talked about 3 of these super regularly in my life but I've never really distinguished them as disciplines.
I've been really un-disciplined in verse memory - Marty's technique sounds interesting; just picking a set of verses each week, get them down, and then move on and trust the Holy Spirit to bring them back when appropriate. I've always done the stacking method, put an ever-increasing stack of notecards on a ring and go over all of them every day.
Calendar
I want to rely on a more structured calendar, spiritually structured, and am curious about what has existed in Jewish/Christian history
