The last two months have been the best ever for this blog. I’ve developed a rhythm that allows me to post 5-6 days a week. More people than ever have stopped by. And a greater focus for what the content should be about has bubbled up.
Starting next week the focus of ChrisMorton.info will be two things: Growth and Mission. Here’s what that means:
Growth
Jesus left his disciples with one main instruction: Go and teach people to do what I said to do.
Doing what Jesus says will require full-life discipline. It doesn’t just include a better understanding of scripture and learning spiritual discipline, but bringing your entire life into focus. Since this will include everything from spiritual disciplines to lifehacks, we’ll categorize these entries under Growth.
Some past entries on this topic include:
- 31 Lessons I Wish I Had Learned Before I Was 31
- The Number One Thing You Can Do Today to Achieve Your Goals
- Why You Need a Reading Plan (and how to develop one)
Mission
Lesslie Newbigin’s said in Open Secret that “We are forced to do something that the Western churches have never had to do since the days of their own birth-to discover the form and substance of a missionary church…”

These posts will focus on what it means for churches and individuals to join in God’s mission.

I’ll continue to post 4-6 times a week, including long form and short for writing, quotes and videos. You’ll see a new “About” page and a separate “bio” page. There will also be a new social media push and some exciting possibilities like guest posts and video posts. I hope you’ll spread the word.
