Summary

If you want to experience deeper and more fulfilling love, and you want to simplify your life in the process, then join Chip as he wraps up this series by presenting 3 essential things you must do to love more and do less.

How do you sustain spiritual simplicity?

Get on board the Love Train! - The love train is the Church of Jesus Christ

What’s life like on the Love Train? -- 2 Corinthians 5:14-21

Christ's love compels us (verse 14)
Our life focus changes (verse 15)
We get new eyes (verse 16)
We get new hope (verse 17)
We get a new responsibility (verses 18-19)
We get a new role (verses 20-21)

How It Really Works

Jesus' Command: Love God and love people—the marks of a mature disciple.

The Profile of a Disciple (Romans 12 Christian): Surrendered, Separate from the world, Sober self-assessment, Serving in love, Supernaturally responding to evil

Practices to Become a Romans 12 Christian:

BEFORE God (personal devotion)
IN Community (fellowship and support)
ON Mission 24/7 (living out faith daily)

The Process that Ignites Life Change:

"I'm all in!" (Overcoming fear of the future)
"You accepted me." (Overcoming fear of rejection)
"God used me." (Overcoming fear of failure)

A Call to All: "Get on Board!" (James 1:19-27)
