Went to small group last night. We are doing this bible study that goes along with '40 Days of Purpose' book by Rick Warren. Its pretty cool - Pastor Rick offers quite a bit of insights to life and "What on earth are we here for?".

This week's lesson on discipleship is perhaps the toughest chapter to swallow. I think its very easy to be a worker for God, but I think its very hard to be a disciple of God. I mean, its easy to "do" the things at church, but its hard to "work" out our own salvation. After all, Paul did tell us to continue to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.

I think its easy for me to do the things at church. Hosting small groups, hangout, hold/organize different events, participate in church organizing and planning. I've done all that, and thats a part of my life. But I realized that I haven't exactly been "working out" my salvation - that is, my personal relationship with God, and my reliance on Him. Its so hard!

The one thing that I heard yesterday that really hit me was when Pastor Rick asked "How do you know when you are relying on God?". His answer was to take a look at your prayer life. Whatever you pray about is whatever you rely on God for....

Hmm. Moral of the day? pray!
