Spiritual Disciplines for Today

At your salvation, your spirit was renewed, but your soul and body was not changed.Spiritual Disciplines are given to us by God. They provide a way of sowing to the Spirit and they help you put off the "old man" and put on the "new man" (see Ephesians 4:22-24). By doing this, you "renew" your soul so it will agree with your renewed spirit. As the saying "means to an end" goes, the Spiritual Disciplines are the "means," while the "end" is intimacy with God.By exercising the Spiritual Disciplines, we are helped to mature spiritually and are put in a place where God can work within us to transform us. If we truly want to walk with God, we will exercise the Spiritual Disciplines.Spiritual Disciplines are for everyone to use and should be a natural part of a Christian''s life, as natural as breathing.In this book, the eleven main Spiritual Disciplines - Meditation, Prayer, Fasting, Study, Simplicity, Submission, Confession, Solitude, Service, Guidance, and Worship - are described as well as how to apply them in today''s world.The author''s first two books are A Young Person''s Guide to Christianity and A Christian Understanding of Deception - Gaining an Appreciation of How satan Uses Deception.Publisher''s website: http://sbprabooks.com/RDouglasWardrop
