Don Whitney, a professor at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary will be the speaker at a conference on Spiritual Disciplines this Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18 at New Heights Baptist Church. The topic on Friday will be "praying through Scripture" and the topic on Saturday will be "meditating on Scripture."
"Spiritual disciplines" can be a scary phrase, but it only refers to the upkeep of regular spiritual pursuits like prayer, Bible study, etc. Praying through Scripture basically means reading through Scripture passages and then praying according to them. Meditating on Scripture is not about emptying one's mind and chanting, but about reading, memorizing, and continually thinking about Scripture passages, figuring out how to order your life around Scripture. Dr. Whitney will define these exercises more completely and give helpful and practical ways to pursue them regularly.
Please join us Friday night at 7:00pm and Saturday morning at 8:30 am for this intriguing and helpful conference. All are invited!
