Summary:
In a world bent on enticing us away from growing deeper in love with Christ, how on earth do we become more godly? Chuck Swindoll says, "The secret lies in our returning to the basic disciplines of Christ. Religion won't cut it! We live in a spiritual hothouse where we talk religious talk, send out religious letters, write religious pamphlets, and do religious Bible studies. It's so easy to become religious instead of godly." The Bible says we must 'discipline ourselves for the purpose of godliness'. These eight spiritual disciplines can help set your feet on the path to godliness, even in the midst of an increasingly godless world.
