Spiritual Disciplines for Today: Getting Closer to God

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 Christians 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 todays world. The authors first two books are A Young Persons Guide to Christianity and A Christian Understanding of Deception - Gaining an Appreciation of How satan Uses Deception.
