“TEN LITTLE STATEMENTS OF A RESURRECTED LIFE”
Almost four years ago I took notes as I sat at the feet of Dr. Little. The following are ten of my top LITTLE statements shared:
10. On the Spiritual Discipline of Detachment: “In order to believe in God, we have to detach ourselves from things that keep us from knowing God.”
9. On the Spiritual Discipline of Confession: “Why is confession so powerful? Because when something is hidden in the dark, Satan still has power and control.”
8. On the Spiritual Discipline of Submission: “Submission is freedom; you must relinquish things that pull you away from God.”
7. On the power of a transformed life: “You are the 67th book in the Bible; you are the Spirit-filled living testament of Jesus Christ!”
6. On Leadership: “Leadership has to come from the overflow of a spiritually formed heart. As a leader, am I praying that God’s name be hallowed not mine?”
5. On Truth: “All truth is God’s truth; the term ‘Christian scientist’ should be a redundant term.”
4. On Spiritual Formation: “We don’t form people; the Holy Spirit forms people.”
3. On Shepherding: “If an eldership’s highest value is peace – they won’t go far because the tyranny of those easily offended will control. If you’re going to be a good shepherd, you’re not going to model laws, traditions and customs, but a Christ-centered life!”
2. On how to reach young adults: “Three things young adults are seeking: Authenticity, Transparency and Community. This generation needs to: Experience the love of Christ before Explanation; Belong before Believe; Identify before Influence; and Image comes before Word.”
1. On the Bible: “The Bible doesn’t tell us all there is about God, but only what humans can fathom; the Bible is a window to God. The Bible is not for our information but our transformation.”
God is good! Mr. Steve
