I recently went to see my doctor for a medical check-up. Someone asked me the last time I went for that purpose and I could not remember (that’s probably a sign that it’s time to go). In the same manner, I think it is helpful for us to do a spiritual check-up often. As I am teaching our students at FBC Henderson about the spiritual disciplines, I’ve been preparing by reading Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald Whitney. I read this book in college, but I am encouraged by it once more. It’s very comprehensive, practical, and biblically based in its goal of leading us to practice the spiritual disciplines for the purpose of godliness. I highly encourage you to check it out. If you’re already read it, try it again. Check it out here.
