A couple of post ago, I mentioned that by focusing our lives on God, His Word and the souls of men, we invest in eternity. Spiritual disciplines are a way of investing in eternity. Many fear that if they practice the disciplines, the disciplines will become mere ritual or a form of legalism. That is entirely possible. There can be a very fine line between discipline and legalism.
If we are pursuing God’s favor by practicing the disciplines, we are falling to legalism. However, if we are pursuing God Himself and godliness through practicing them, we are making eternal investments. In a future post, I will share some suggestions on how to practice some of the spiritual disciplines.
