		<description><![CDATA[If you want to know about discipline, this fall just as the high school football season is wrapping up, go down to your local high school, see if they have a wresting program, and then check it out. Not just watch a practice, but discuss the daily habits of their very best.  You generally will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I served a stint as an intelligence analyst with the Office of National Drug Control Policy. In that capacity, I did a lot of research on marijuana and methamphetamine. (In case you’ve been wondering, the United States has something of a drug problem.) I wrote papers for the intelligence community, and wrote strategies for our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At The Vertical Church we have several of what we call Kickoffs a year.  Just like the start to a football game, these are times of excitement and growth for our church. But in order to have a successful kickoff, we have to be disciplined to “P.L.A.N.” ahead for what God is about to do.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most Christian leaders and laymen struggle daily to bring some sort of balance to their lives and wrestle to achieve a sense of spiritual victory. Just when it seems one battle has been won another battle assures us that we are perpetually engaged in ruthless, never-ending conflict for spiritual survival.
The antagonists in this contest are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Richard Foster once said, “Our Adversary majors in three things: noise, hurry and crowds. If he can keep us engaged in &#8220;muchness&#8221; and &#8220;manyness,&#8221; he will rest satisfied.” I came across this statement in my readings from Richard J. Foster on the subject of the disciplined life.  It is an area that I have continually [...]]]></description>

Some would say its TV and that may still be true. Americans [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In pastoring, one of my biggest enemies of discipline has been the desire or pressure to be there for our people. You might ask, “How is that the enemy?” Simple.
