Hebrews 12:8-11
Now if you are without any discipline, in which all sons share, then you are illegitimate and not God's sons. Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them for it. We should submit even more to the Father of our spirits and live, shouldn't we? For a short time they disciplined us as they thought best, but God does it for our good, so that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, for those who have been trained by it, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.
This morning as I'm in prayer, I have this thought of discipline. Do we really carry out the life style of discipline? I am going to share today at a luncheon about the need to refocus our life's around the four windows of discipleship:

1. Prayer
2. Scripture
3. Openness with one another
4. Life of service in the community
These things might the beginning of a harvest of Righteouness and Peace. Please God show us your heart and character!
