Pietism is found in the way we talk about spiritual disciplines. Have you prayed today? Did you have your personal prayer time? How many chapters do you read the Bible? We're always trying to find a way to judge ourselves apart from the gospel of Christ. All of our traditions do it because this is our native tendency.
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.
