Spiritual Disciplines

Sometimes the word “discipline” can evoke negative thoughts, and the topic of spiritual disciplines can be overwhelming with everything else that’s going on in your life. However, just like everything else in life—growing in Godliness takes work. Donald Whitney has wisely stated, “no one coasts into Christ likeness. Any progress in godliness requires Spirit-filled effort and purpose.” May these resources be helpful as you strive to grow more into the image of Christ through spiritual disciplines.
