Spiritual Disciplines
There is no question of the benefits of physical exercise, but what about exercise for your soul? Throughout Scripture, we learn of ways to practice what are called the “disciplines” of faith. These disciplines are practices to train us in the ways of godliness & holiness. Each week you will learn about a different spiritual discipline. Practicing spiritual disciplines regularly will make a difference in your life. These disciplines can be practiced as a way of “making room” for God in our regular routines. In this way, we can get to know God more deeply. We have to be careful that we do not use them as a way to “work” towards righteousness. Righteousness is a gift from God, and can only be attained through Him, but spiritual disciplines help us to be more aware of God and His work in our lives.
