Chapter 9What Sets Them Apart?
On page 123 he writes, "When you have singleness of purpose, everything else is embraced or discarded according to whether or not it moves you in the direction of your goal." The saints surely had a singleness of purpose. If my goal (singleness of purpose)is to be God's holy, humble obedient servant wanting always to do His will and gain eternal life, then my response to every decision I make should reflect this which, of course, it doesn't. Lord help me to focus on my goal and make decisions accordingly. In this chapter he also focuses on habits. To me discipline and good habits go together. He writes (page 129), "Habits create character. And your character is your destiny". I need to be more disciplined in my spiritual life and create better habits if I am serious at all about gaining eternal life in heaven. JoAnn
