Ep. 117 Marks That Last (Part 2)

Written by:
Anybody can start strong. The real question is what keeps character alive after the motivation fades. In Part 2 of the Seven Marks, Ed looks at the three that sustain all the rest: patience, Word-centeredness, and Spirit-dependence. Here is the heart of it. The marks of a principled life were never meant to run on willpower. They run on the Spirit of God in a yielded life. If you have been white-knuckling your growth, this episode is the exhale.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Patience as integrity stretched out over time.
Word-centeredness, storing the Word before you need it.
Spirit-dependence as the engine of real change.
One verse to hide this week.
SCRIPTURE ANCHOR
Romans 8:14 (NKJV): "As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." See also Hebrews 12:1 and Psalm 119:11 (NKJV).
THIS WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT
Pick one verse and hide it this week; memorize it so it is inside you before you need it. Then hand one striving place over to the Spirit.
JOURNAL PROMPT
Where am I running on willpower instead of the Spirit, and what one verse will I hide in my heart this week?
