About this sermon
We shift now to the concept of discipline and what it means in terms of our development. The discussion begins with the fruit of the Spirit because they are so essential in developing Christian character. Our goal is not behavior modification, although there will be some of that as an outcome. But we mustn't get so anxious about modifying behavior that we don’t get to the substance of human character. Character consists of the deep habits of the whole personality. It is habit and it can be modified. And the primary thing to do when you’re changing habits is to keep on thinking in terms of joy, peace, hope, etc. Dallas Willard taught this intensive seminary course in 2010 on the psychology of redemption SF611 titled, "The Human Contribution to Holiness: What is Our Part in Putting Off the Old Person and Putting on the New." Presented in 17 parts, the course objectives were to appropriate the teachings of Jesus in real life, to practice several spiritual disciplines, to experience personal renewal and to equip leaders in their roles in local congregations. #DallasWillard #FruitOfTheSpirit #Character #Peace #GoldenTriangle #CouldJesusLeadYourLife?
