The apostle Paul exhorts us in 1 Tim 4:7 to "exercise ourselves" unto godliness. The word exercise means to "train with self discipline". To develop godliness in our lives, we need to be disciplined Christians! This series looks at a number of areas in which we must develop spiritual discipline in the pursuit of godliness and usefulness in the service of God.
