Habits of Grace: Looking Biblically at the Spiritual Disciplines

"Bringing The Word Into The Heart"
(Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:2-3; Psalm 119:11)

It is possible to understand a passage accurately, close your Bible, and move on without its truth ever taking root. In this Journey Together teaching, Pastor Russell Howard picks up from last week's call to careful Bible study and shows how three habits carry God's Word from the mind into the heart. Meditation is sustained attention to revealed truth, filling the mind rather than emptying it. Application reaches past a checklist of behaviors to the desires and character underneath them. Memorization keeps Scripture ready wherever life goes and builds a working map of the Bible's one big story, the way Jesus met temptation with "It is written." You will walk away with practical ways to stop driving past God's Word and start dwelling in it, trusting that these habits rest on grace, not on earning God's favor.
