This guide draws from the rich heritage left us by the

meditation and application, prayer, worship, evangelism,
stewardship, fasting, silence and solitude, and journaling.

The Pursuit of Holiness
Bridges, Jerry |
 |
|
|
"Be holy, for I am holy," God commands His people. Yet holiness is something that is often missing from the Christian's daily life. According to Jerry Bridges, that's because we're not exactly sure what our part in holiness is. In The Pursuit of Holiness, he helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do—and what we should accept responsibility for ourselves. Whether you're continuing your pursuit of holiness or just beginning, the principles and guidelines in The Pursuit of Holiness will challenge you to live up to God's standard of holiness.

Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church
Whitney, Donald S. |

Whitney says that committed love must mark the local expression of the body of Christ. By putting spiritual disciplines into practice in the church, congregations can return to the depth of community present in the New Testament church.
Why should I go to church? Why should I give so much time to people I hardly know? Donald Whitney calls us to the discipline of living in community. It is only through our local church that we truly experience life in the body of Christ.
