We are all people of habits. To some degree, we are always battling to establish good habits while battling to supplant bad ones. This is true of us in many different areas of life and most certainly true in our spiritual lives. In fact, some have argued that when we describe the way we relate to God and participate in his means of grace it makes more sense to talk about “spiritual habits” than “spiritual disciplines.”See AlsoSunday Devotional: Your Best and Worst DaysThe Means and the EndHabits of Grace

I think we can sometimes fool ourselves into believing that the Reformation caused the Roman Catholic Church to abandon some, most, or all of the doctrine that was so concerning to the Reformers. We can sometimes believe that the Catholicism of today is materially different from that of the 16th century or that it has drawn much closer to Protestantism. But now and again we receive reminders that this is simply not so. A Year of Jubilee is a good opportunity to see this with clarity.See AlsoAnswering 2 Objections to Sola ScripturaAre We Together?Seminar 1 – Phil Johnson – Is The Reformation Over?
