Episode 261: The Most Unused Spiritual Disciplines

 

”Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.“

‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬ ‭NIV‬‬

 

Be still and know that I am God  Psalm 46:10

We are human beings not human doings

But we feel guilty if we are not going 100 miles per hour.

Ask a fellow minister how they are doing and most times you will hear a litany of all they are doing or hear them say oh I’m so busy!

 

Dallas Willard divides the disciplines into two classes:

disciplines of abstinence (solitude, silence, fasting, frugality, chastity, secrecy, and sacrifice) and

disciplines of engagement (study, worship, celebration, service, prayer, fellowship, confession, and submission).

 

1. Sabbath
2. Solitude
3. Stillness
4. Fasting
5. Prayer -extended times
6. Worship - individually and corporately
