What are Spiritual Disciplines?

"Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will."
-Jonathan Edwards 1703-1758

The Christian spiritual disciplines have ancient biblical roots. Jesus and the apostles practiced them. They passed them on, even to the new Gentile believers of the first century.
