Still reading the intro to Celebration of Discipline-Richard Foster makes it clear that these disciplines are not to become "law". They are a means to "place us before God; not earn brownie points with GOD."
Phillipians 3:9 "that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-the righteousness that comes from God is by faith."
The following is the recommended scripture reading from Celebration of Discipline that I will be incorporating into my own daily Bible study...
Sunday-the longing to go deeper. Psalms 42
Monday-the slavery to ingrained habits. Psalms 51
Tuesday-the slavery to ingrained habits. Romans 7:13-25
Wednesday-the bankruptcy of outward righteousness. Philippians 3:1-16
Thursday-sin in the bodily members. Proverbs 6:16-19
Friday-sin in the bodily members. Romans 6:5-14
Saturday-the victory of spiritual discipline. Ephesians 6:10-20
