Richard Foster makes a connection between spiritual disciplines and “the good life”. Regarding the spiritual disciplines, he says, “Their purpose is not to make life miserable but joyful, not to put us in bondage but to set us free, not to confine but to liberate.” Any thoughts on how this actually happens?
Foster also comments that “the good life” is often identified with power, wealth, status, and freedom from all authority. Does this picture of “the good life” resonate with you? What is your idea of “the good life”?
Let’s hear from each other.
“It is one thing to praise discipline, and another to submit to it.” -Don Quixote
