| take time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit.(1 Timothy 4:7 phillips) As J. Oswald Sanders points out, true discipleship is more than intellectual assent to a belief in Christit involves the whole person and lifestyle. Those with only a superficial belief will soon fall away from the faith, but Sanders says a true disciple would rather be presented with a difficult challenge than a soft option. Disciples are charged with the task of training themselves to be godly, because it is their responsibility to remain spiritually fit. Ever-fresh topics in this time-tested volume include: * the disciple's second chance * the disciple's Olympics* the disciple's ambition* the disciple's rights* the disciple's senior partner * the disciple's maturity In addition, a "For Reflection" guide is included, making this book ideal for both individual and group study. |

| Why should I go to church? Why should I give so time to people I hardly know? Instead of being so focused on individual needs, Donald Whitney calls us to the discipline of living in community. It is only through our local church that we truly experience life in the body of Christ.In a world committed to self-seeking and the thirst for individual rights, it is hard to create a genuine community based on self-sacrifice and mutual commitment--but that is just what the church must do. In Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church seminary professor, author, and former pastor Don Whitney shows how the local church can build a sense of community and turn church people from passive attendees into active participants. Whitney looks at such frequently asked questions as:* Why can't I get by on my own?* Why should I go to church?* Why should I give of myself to the church?* Why do I need to worship in church? Couldn't I just worship in nature?* Why does it matter whether I become a member of the church?Committed love must mark the local expression of the body of Christ. By putting spiritual disciplines into practice in the church, congregations can return to the depth of community present in the New Testament church, where they "devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." |
