61 " Todo creyente debe atravesar algunos desiertos espirituales en su peregrinación a la ciudad celestial. "
― Donald S. Whitney , Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life
62 " Persevere en la adoración. Clame a Dios pidiéndole que le dé un conocimiento renovado de los «ríos de agua viva» (en referencia al Espíritu Santo) que en Juan 7:38 Jesús prometió que brotarían en todo el que creyera en él. Pero no deje de adorar; nunca se dé por vencido en el desierto. Usted no sabe qué tan amplio es, y podría estar a punto de terminar de atravesarlo. "
63 " «Congregarse» indiscutiblemente significa reunirse en la presencia física de otros creyentes. "
64 " Those who eat too much and those who intentionally eat too little are looking for satisfaction in something other than God. "
65 " God expects us to use the walkie-talkie of prayer because that is the means He has ordained not only for godliness, but also for the spiritual warfare between His kingdom and the kingdom of His Enemy. To abandon prayer is to fight the battle with our own resources at best, and to lose interest in the battle at worst. "
66 " Hay un elemento de la adoración y de la vida cristiana que nunca puede experimentarse en la adoración a solas ni observando la adoración de otros. Hay algunas gracias y bendiciones que nuestro Padre nos da únicamente cuando nos «congregamos» con otros creyentes como familia de Dios. "
67 " According to James 1:22-25, we can experience God’s truth so powerfully that what the Lord wants us to do becomes as plain to us as our face in the morning mirror. But if we do not apply the truth as we meet it, regardless of how wonderful the experience of discovering the truth has been, we deceive ourselves if we think we will be blessed for giving attention to the Bible on those occasions. The one who “will be blessed in his doing” is the one who does what Scripture says. "
68 " La adoración no se puede calcular ni producir. "
69 " La piedad requiere una adoración disciplinada. "
70 " When you speak the gospel, you share “the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Sharing the gospel is like walking around in a thunderstorm and handing out lightning rods. You don’t know when the lightning will strike or who it will strike, but you know what it will strike—the lightning rod of the gospel. And when it does, that person’s lightning rod will be charged with the power of God and he or she will believe. "
71 " How does the Word memorized become the Word applied? It happens through meditation. "
72 " La oración es, en un sentido, la expresión de una relación continua del cristiano con el Padre. "
73 " Joy does not come to you if you are spiritually passive; rather, joy is cultivated, but joy is cultivated by things you do. "
74 " no es la mera lectura de la Biblia lo que nos convierte en «un hacedor eficaz» de ella, sino la meditación. "
75 " True spiritual self-discipline holds believers in bounds but never in bonds; its effect is to enlarge, expand and liberate. D. G. KEHL "
76 " How can we worship God without worshiping Him in vain? How can we instead “offer to God acceptable worship” (Hebrews 12:28)? We must learn an essential part of pursuing Christlikeness—the Spiritual Discipline of biblical worship. "
77 " why do we forget what we read in the Bible? Is it just a poor memory? No, it’s a failure to meditate. "
78 " How will you prove that you are a doer of the Word of God as it’s been presented to you here? "
79 " If a man write little, he had need have a great memory.”[12] "
80 " The main reason, remember, for disciplining ourselves is godliness. We have learned that the Spiritual Disciplines are scriptural paths where we may expect to encounter the transforming grace of God. The most critical Discipline is the intake of God’s Word. No factor is more influential in making us more like the Son of God than the Spirit of God working through the Word of God. If you want to be changed, if you want to become more like Jesus Christ, discipline yourself to read the Bible. How often should "
