It is easier, and therefore more talked about, to practice spiritual disciplines in an effort to feel God’s presence than to practice them in order to draw on the Spirit’s power to love well.
I think I have suspected this for a while now. Though I have not use the same terminology I have wondered if we have thought wrongly about spiritual disciplines. Another words, what is the point if it still revolves around my experience of God? It's still about me and not God or others.
