God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We will never get anywhere in life without discipline, be it in the arts, business, athletics, or academics. This is doubly so in spiritual matters. In other areas we may be able to claim some innate advantage. An athlete may be born with a strong body, a musician with perfect pitch, or an artist with an eye for perspective. But none of us can claim an innate spiritual advantage. In reality, we are all equally disadvantaged. None of us naturally seeks after God, none is inherently righteous, none instinctively does good (cf. Romans 3:9-18). Therefore, as children of grace, our spiritual discipline is everything – everything! I repeat…discipline is everything!
In the Minneapolis Star Tribune is an entire section for sports. Can you believe an entire section of the newspaper for sports and not one column for God? Not one column is written about the Maker of the universe who upholds the whole Coles Media industry by the power of his word. Not one minute for God on prime-time news. In twelve years of public education, not one hour relates to God, and not one page in Newsweek or Time. What about evangelicals? I've been to church growth seminars where God is not once mentioned. I've been to lectures and talks on pastoral issues where he is not so much as alluded to. I have read strategies for every kind of recovery under the sun where God is not there. I have talked to students in seminaries who tell me of manifold, practical courses where God is peripheral at best. I have recently read mission statements of major evangelical organizations where neither Christ nor God is even mentioned.

Preheat oven to 325°F. Place spinach in a sieve and press to squeeze out as
much water as possible. Place ham in bottom of 4 lightly buttered shallow
ramekins or individual gratin dishes. Spread spinach over ham. Drizzle each
dish with 1 Tbs. milk. Season with nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
Carefully break 2 eggs into each dish. Drizzle with remaining milk and
sprinkle with cheese. Bake 12-15 minutes, until whites are just set and
cheese is melted. Serve over toast
