NOTE: This year, our Bible reading plan is 5 days per week. On Saturday and Sunday, I will be posting a quote or idea related to spiritual disciplines. My prayer goal is that all of us will continue to grow in the Lord in 2021.

“The end —that is, the purpose of practicing the Disciplines —is godliness. I define godliness as both closeness to Christ and conformity to Christ, a conformity that’s both inward and outward, a growing conformity to both the heart of Christ and the life of Christ. This Christlikeness is the goal, the reason we should practice the Disciplines. Without this purpose in our practice, the performance of Spiritual Disciplines —no matter how consistent or vigorous —is vain and nothing more than an empty husk of godliness.”
