Some notes from Jessica about Spiritual Disciplines...

Thoughts from Jessica Colvin...

I went with my sister to her church. She’s becoming an Antiochian Orthodox. The Orthodox church is known for its de-emphasis in evangelizing. There was a guest speaker that day, however, that was speaking on missiology. He said that the main way he believes evangelism should be done is through living a life with Godly character, and by our example, people will come to want to know Christ. And what they do in the Orthodox church is eat and breathe spiritual disciplines—not at all that that’s what we should become but they may have something to teach as (as might many other denominations).

If we are transformed by the renewing of our minds through meditations, prayer, and ancient disciplines, we are working closer to the goal of loving God with all of our hearts, minds and souls and loving one another as ourselves.
