A FEW SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES IN THE LIFE OF A BELIEVER


READING THE BIBLE

It's important for believers to regularly read the Bible. This is our source document on how to live out the Christian faith. It's good practice to meditate on bits of Scripture at a time to memorize. Remember, when Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He relied on Scripture to fight temptation. 


PRAYER

Regular prayer is important. We are in a relationship with God. He wants to hear from us. Prayer is one way we stay in touch with The Lord. 

Spurgeon was asked what was more important, reading the Bible or praying. He responded that question is like asking what’s more important, inhaling or exhaling. 


JOURNALING

Journaling allows us to take notes of all the things happening in our lives. We can use it as a prayer journal to catalog when God answers a prayer. 


SERVING

Believers are called to serve. God did not call us so the we could be attended to. Instead, He called us so that we would go and attend to others. He called us to live a life of good stewardship and service.
