“We don’t need to import practices, disciplines, and ways of formation that are foreign to the Scriptures.” This is an unwise assessment. Human beings have a nervous system, a body, awareness, and attention. Learning tools and developing skills that support the wise use of these human faculties and functions aid in the development of character and the formation of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Well done. This is such a critical perspective right now.
