I thought "etudes" must be a typo. <BR/><BR/>The funny thing about correction is that I know I'm not always right. So why is it I'm bugged if someone points out one of those times?<BR/><BR/>Dust, I know what you mean. The discipline made me think of Coach McNutt. We weren't a great basketball team, but boy could we run with the best of um. <BR/><BR/>...so how would you tie that into discipleship? We may not be the most righteous, but boy we can _______ with the best of um. I guess you could fill that blank with any of the fruits of the Spirit.tim rushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03448920576305000818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10159469.post-1160679859166629952006-10-12T14:04:00.000-05:002006-10-12T14:04:00.000-05:00Well said, Dusty... about the difference between d...Well said, Dusty... about the difference between discipline and correction.<BR/><BR/>Playing scales and etudes as practice for playing a larger, more complicated musical piece is a discipline. Preparing for a marathon requires disciplining the body (not that I've ever done either! I'm all talk!) Then there are the spiritual disciplines (fasting, prayer etc.)<BR/><BR/>I think hating correction is a pride issue... "I don't want anyone to tell me anything different, b/c I wanna do this my way. I AM RIGHT." Yeah, I'd say that would warrant a word as strong as stupid.<BR/><BR/>Personally... I don't hate correction (used to - BIG TIME!). It's very freeing to realize we're all wrong about something. But I know God is calling me to live a more deeply disciplined life, and I've been really reluctant and selfish about surrendering. I keep asking myself... Well, WHEN am I just going to give in and allow Him to do this work in me?<BR/><BR/>I'm so stubborn. (I'm a taurus!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
