We always want to study the Bible with a view to application. We always want to ask, “So what?” We want to be doers of the Word and not hearers only. (James 1.22)

What these verses tell us is that if we are to be transformed, we need to surround ourselves with a little band of Christ-followers with whom we can get honest. We need to have a group. A group that we confess our sins to. A group we laugh with. A group we do lunch with. A group that has, in the words of Will Miller, refrigerator rights. (People with refrigerator rights are people who are so close that you don’t mind them rummaging through your refrigerator.)

Who are you growing toward Christlikeness with? Who are you bringing with you to grow toward Christlikeness? You can’t do this alone. But, with a group, disciplines will turn into habits. And, when it is a habit, godliness is almost automatic.

The book and study guide are both available on Amazon. The study guide is also avail as well as part of my Good Questions Have Groups Talking subscription service.

This service is like Netflix for Bible Lessons. You pay a low monthly, quarterly or annual fee and get access to all the lessons. New lessons that correspond with three of Lifeway’s outlines are automatically included, as well as a backlog of thousands of lessons. Each lesson consists of 20 or so ready-to-use questions that get groups talking, as well as answers from well-known authors such as David Jeremiah, Charles Swindoll and Max Lucado.
