Spiritual Discipline from Matt Chandler

The word "Discipline" is not a word I run to with excitement. When I think about that word here is where my thought life goes: "Find every way to avoid it", "Negative", "Hurts" and "Old School". What we forget is that Discipline can be a great thing. I have a very fast pace, fly by the seat of my pants lifestyle that often gets me emotionally and spiritually drained. I love my lifestyle but as a result it makes me "Surfacey" (if that's even a word) I was so convicted about Matt's honesty about what distracts him from his time with The Lord. Some of the best forms of inspiration in my life has come more from honesty than leadership!!! I want to challenge everyone who watches this video to examine their heart and what takes away from our time with Christ!!
"Self-respect is the fruit of discipline : the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself."
