Lent Quotes: The purpose of spiritual disciplines
Filed under: Spiritual Disciplines, Lent 2007, Lent Quotes — Karen B.

James Kushiner has a great summary of the purpose of spiritual disciplines over on Touchstone’s Mere Comments blog:

A discipline won’t bring you closer to God. Only God can bring you closer to Himself. What the discipline is meant to do is to help you get yourself, your ego, out of the way so you are open to His grace. (full text)

How true. And how beautifully stated.
