The purpose of the Disciplines is freedom. Our aim is the freedom, not the Discipline. The moment we make the Discipline our central focus we will turn it into law and lose the corresponding freedom.... Let us forever center on Christ and view the Spiritual Disciplines as a way of drawing us closer to His heart. Richard J. Foster
