There is a potential downside to becoming a very spiritually disciplined Christian.

I mean it can be hazardous to your health and that's what we want to cover today.

Stay with me.

Welcome to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chipping Group.

The mission of these daily programs is to intentionally

disciple Christians through the Bible teaching of Chip Ingram. And were you intrigued by Chip

Senate, being a very spiritually disciplined person can be bad for us.

Sounds like an obvious contradiction right? Well right now Chip's going to give us

some clarity as he picks up in his series balancing life's demands.

So if you're ready go to Matthew Chapter 5 in your Bible

as we dive right into Chip's talk.

I want you to close your eyes.

I'm not going to do anything weird, but I want you to close your eyes.

I want you to try to remember exactly where you were the last time you heard these words.

Please take out a clean sheet of paper and a number two pencil, put everything

away, clear your desk, number from one to ten were having a pop quiz.

Okay, now you can open your eyes.

And we, remember the feared pop quiz?

That was a tool of accountability, right? It was, did you read the assignment? Are you on track? Are you doing your work? And the way we will enforce that is when you don't suspect it.

And I used to hate that, please take everything off your desk.

My heart would sink.

Number two pencil.
