Practising the Way 6 - Rule of Life

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been journeying through Practising the Way together, exploring what it means to truly follow Jesus. So far, we’ve looked at following Jesus, formation, spiritual practices, meeting God in pain and suffering, and last week Hugh shared about healing from sin.

This week, we turn our attention to the idea of a Rule of Life. While not a direct biblical concept, a Rule of Life is a time-tested Christian tool designed to help us stay anchored in our walk with God and open to transformation. It’s not about legalism, but about intentionally living in obedience to Jesus and creating a framework that helps us abide in Him.

Drawing on John 15:5–8 and the wisdom of early church saints like St. Basil and St. Benedict, we explore how a Rule of Life can support us in becoming more like Jesus. We all have a “rule of life” whether we realise it or not—the rhythms and routines that shape who we are becoming. The invitation is to reorder our lives around practices that help us abide in Christ: Sabbath, prayer, fasting, solitude, generosity, Scripture, community, service, and witness.

This is not about guilt or striving but about responding to the grace of God and choosing to grow, step by step, into the people He is calling us to be.
