The Upper Room Disciplines 2017

Why are daily devotions important?

As we read, study, and pray with others each day, we can . . . devote ourselves more fully to steady growth in love of God and neighbor.
Our repeated listening for the divine and the deepest desires of our neighbors can empower us to discern God's work in this noisy world.
Our disciplined study of scripture can help us find our place in God’s creative goodness.
—Shawn Bakker, from the Foreword
