To remain in Jesus, we need to practice the disciplines of the Word and prayer; these two are the most important disciplines. The other two disciplines we need to grow are fellowship and witnessing. This year we will focus our attention on the disciplines of the Word and prayer first, and then on witnessing. The disciplines are not about our willpower but more about God’s grace. God not only pours out His grace through the disciplines but also supplies us with the power to practice them. Let us encourage and help one another to develop these habits of grace.
