Life Never Settles Down. Discipline is one of those things that looks great on paper. The idea of making progress-especially in the area of your relationship with God-is highly motivating. The trouble is, discipline is difficult. It involves struggle. And it never seems to fit naturally into our busy schedules. We often find ourselves thinking, "When life settles down a bit, I'll..." But we should have learned by now that life never settles down. Whatever we want to accomplish, we must do with a life unsettled. In the same way, if we're ever going to discipline ourselves for the purpose of godliness, we've got to do it when life is like it is now. Ideal for personal or small-group use, this companion guide to Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life will take you through a carefully selected array of disciplines including Scripture reading, prayer, worship, Scripture meditation, evangelism, serving, stewardship, Scripture application, fasting, silence and solitude, journaling, and learning. So if your Sunday school class or small group is ready to make a firm commitment toward spiritual growth, here's a great place to start.
