So, in preparing a given message, it will be well to ask yourself such questions as 1. Will it require discipline for my congregation to do this? 2. Should I warn the congregation that this particular task can be accomplished only by a commitment to work at it prayerfully every day until it becomes habitual? 3. What aspects of discipline will my undisciplined members be most likely to stumble over, and how can I help them to avoid tripping and falling?
