Central Truth: Knowing God is not a means to the goal of faith, IT IS the goal of faith.
Spiritual Disciplines-activities that position us to grow in our knowledge of God.
1. Spiritual disciplines are not just for spiritual giants, they are for everyone.
2. Joy is the key to the spiritual disciplines, not drudgery.
3. The "why" of the spiritual disciplines are more important that the "how".
4. Beware the path of death: turning the spiritual disciplines into laws.
