Experimenting with

Spiritual Disciplines

EarningEffort

The religion of Christ is bigger and deeper than all these. These are good in their place; just so far as they are in fact subservient to true religion. They are applied only as occasional helps to human weakness. But let no man carry them farther. Let no man dream that they have any intrinsic worth; or that religion cannot subsist without them. This were to make them an abomination to the Lord.

John Wesley
