“The Spiritual Disciplines are those personal and corporate disciplines that promote spiritual growth. They are the habits of devotion and experiential Christianity that have been practiced by the people of God since biblical times.” -Donald S. Whitney
Why do we practice spiritual disciplines?
The purpose of spiritual disciplines is to produce godliness. The power of transformation isn’t in the disciplines themselves, but the Holy Spirit uses them as a means to apply the growth of godliness - knowing God, obeying God, and loving God.
