Building Wise H.A.B.I.T.S.

// October 22nd, 2009 // Elevate Update, Spiritual

Ummm… please excuse my strange behavior.  It looks like, after watching this video, I’ve picked up some BAD HABITS of my own over the years.  AHEM…

Anyhow, we believe in putting a high priority on helping teenagers to become spiritually self-sufficient. Sure, we value creating fun environments to spend time with friends while growing in the biblical purposes for their lives. But we know from experience that those who follow Christ after they graduate from youth group are those who have learned to feed themselves spiritually.

That’s why we believe in emphasizing HABITS, our acronym for six disciplines that can help students (and adults) grow spiritually on their own. These six are definitely not the only spiritual habits for a self-feeding faith, but they are enough to get one grounded:

Hang-time with God
Accountable friendships
Bible meditation and memorization
Involvement within the body of Christ
Tithing, and
Studying scripture

This series will help us understand these HABITS and see them as described in the book of Psalms.
