Episode notes

This is White Horse Sin, a weekly round table discussion about theology and culture. Spiritual disciplines can make people nervous or excited but I find it helpful to view them something like a fork. Sometimes the disciplines are used as just habit builders that basically replace the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The Sabbath was a gift. Solitude and silence and fasting is actually a gift, not a burden, not a chore. Are people in your churches encouraged to read their Bibles? Are they encouraged to have daily devotional, quiet Bible reading times? Is it important for them to pray every day? What role does private piety play in our Christian life?

Do Reformational people read their Bibles? Do they have daily “quiet times”? Is it important for them to pray every day? Sometimes we can give people the sense that all God really cares about is public worship, but what happens in our public assembly should flow down into our families and then into our individual spiritual lives as well. In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller discuss the role private piety plays in our Christian life, considering how we can reclaim spiritual disciplines for our churches.
