A New Book

Ok... so I was in Lynchburg the other day and I decided to go by the used bookstore. It's painted like a big American flag. I forgot the name of it.

So I found about 10 books that I absolutely felt I needed to buy. I was able to because they were all around 2 bucks each!! The one I am most excited about right now is: 
Spiritual Disciplines For The Christian L.I.F.E by Donald S. Whitney.

This book is a classic. The spiritual disciplines are the ways in which we as believers in Christ grow in godliness. The Scriptural basis and motivation for this book is (1 Tim 4:7). We know that the Holy Spirit does the work of sanctifying the church... the spiritual disciplines are prayer, intake of God's Word, fasting, meditation, worship, service, evangelism and many more ways that we obediently grow in Christlikeness.

As I read I will post some reflections on a chapter by chapter basis. I'd like to share how through the practice of various spiritual disciplines God is growing me into the man he created me to be in His church. 

I have a great idea... I will do this in a series of blog posts called Spiritual Disciplines Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and so on...! I look forward to sharing with you. Coming soon!

Blessings!
