What difference would it make if we approached our spiritual disciplines as a means of drawing closer to Jesus? I mean, if we read our bibles, pray, and attend worship occasionally just because that’s what good Christ-followers do, we seem to be missing the point of our efforts.
We should be in the Bible more so that we can know Jesus more intimately. We should pray more so that we can experience our divine connection more deeply. We should attend worship to fellowship with the body of Christ as we encourage each other as we worship the King of Kings. Jesus didn’t die so that we would follow a program or a checklist, but rather He wants us to pursue a deeper and richer relationship with Him.
