Spiritual disciplines increase your intimacy with God as a follower of Jesus.
Six Core Disciplines for Your Soul

Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"The word of Scripture should never stop sounding in your ears and working in you all day long, just like the words of someone you love. And just as you do not analyze the words of someone you love, but accept them as they are said to you, accept the Word of Scripture and ponder it in your heart, as Mary did."

Dallas Willard
"Bible memorization is absolutely fundamental to spiritual formation. If I had to choose between all the disciplines of the spiritual life, I would choose Bible memorization, because it is a fundamental way of filling our minds with what it needs."
