I read a book once called, "Celebration of Discipline," by Richard J. Foster, because a friend recommended it, and it's been a few years since I read it. At church and bible study we've been talking about discipline as well. So, I'm looking back at the book to see what I underlined and am writing some of it here. There's a lot more than written below, these are just my favorites.
"Superficiality is the curse of our age. Doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people."
"Joy is the keynote of all the disciplines. The purpose of disciplines is liberation from the stifling slavery to self-interest and fear."
"Stop trying to impress people with your clothes and impress them with your life."
(BAM!)
"How do you discern an addiction? Very simply, you watch for undisciplined compulsions."
