 Need of Spiritual Disciplines Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men. - Ephesians 6:7 The word "discipline" tends to put people on the defensive because it's often mistakenly associated with the idea of punishment. That's unfortunate, and very inaccurate. The Latin root of the word discipline means student. That's why Webster's Dictionary defines discipline as "training or experience that corrects, molds, strengthens, or perfects, especially the mental faculties or moral character." And that's why Jesus calls those who follow Him in faith His disciples. Through the centuries, Christians have stimulated their life in Christ by practicing what are called "spiritual disciplines." But as our culture has increasingly lost the ability to be informed by its past, and as society grows ever more permissive and lax, the "spiritual disciplines" have been forsaken and almost forgotten. |
