Friday’s List to Live By #2

Last week we began a 13 week trial with a new column “Friday’s List to Live By.” It will feature short, succinct, bullet-like points to provide food for thought and future consideration.

If you missed the first post it was “The Greatest Reasons for Faith” based on John 3:16.

Today’s post addresses your need for spiritual disciplines in your life adapted from author, marriage counselor, and seminar speaker Dr. Steve Stephens.

15 SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES

1. Prayer
“Pray without ceasing.”

2. Meditation
“I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate Your ways.”

3. Silence
