"Tom Landry, coach of the Dallas Cowboys football team for most of three decades, said, "The job of a football coach is to make men do what they don't want to do in order to achieve what they've always wanted to be."
"In as much the same way, Christians are called to make themselves do something they would not normally do--pursue the Spiritual Disciplines--in order to become what they've always wanted to be, that is, like Jesus Christ. 'Discipline yourself,' says the Scripture, 'for the purpose of godliness."
~ Donald Whitney (Spiritual Disciplines For The Christian Life, p.20)
