What is a rule of life?
A rule of life is a schedule and set of practices and relational rhythms that help us create space in our busy world for us to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what he did—to live “to the full” (John 10:10) in his kingdom, and in alignment with our deepest passions and priorities.
A rule for life offers unique and regular rhythms that free and open each person to the will and presence of Christ. The spiritual practices of a rule provide a way to partner with the Holy Spirit for personal transformation.
While the word “rule” may seem like a strict or binding constraint, the Latin word that translates “rule” was originally the word for a trellis in a vineyard. In the same way a vine needs a trellis to lift it off the ground so it can bear the maximum amount of fruit, and keep free of predators and diseases, we need a rule as a kind of support structure to organize our life. (John 15:1–8)
Rule of Life as Spiritual Practice
A Rule of Life involves creating a set of intentional, personal guidelines that help individuals align their daily actions with their core values, beliefs, and spiritual aspirations. It’s a dynamic, living document that evolves as one’s life and circumstances change.
