“… train yourself to be godly.” 
                                                1 Timothy 4:7

Time with God in prayer, Bible reading, daily journaling, worship and the things that deepen your relationship with God and influence your life have been called “Spiritual Disciplines.”

The disciplines “are central to experiential Christianity,” a life style of experiencing God, a life influenced by the Counselor to influence you to actually live ...the Gospel. Daily practice of spiritual disciplines allows you to receive “liberation from the stifling slavery to self-interest and fear” (Richard Foster).
As you need daily nourishment, food, ... ...
so do you need a daily practice of disciplined presence with God.
 
Fasting: A Place Setting Filled With The Word of God
 
Spiritual Disciplines include daily and routine practice of:
  • Prayer, Meditation, Fasting, Study
  • Simplicity, Solitude, Submission, Service
  • Confession, Worship, Guidance, Celebration
 
Spiritual Disciplines are what “teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,” Titus 2:12.
 
 
Blessings,
Owen
