Holiness and devotion must now come forth from the closet and the chapel to possess the street and the factory, the schoolroom and boardroom, the scientific laboratory and the governmental office. Instead of a select few making religion their life, with the power and inspiration realized through the spiritual disciplines, all of us can make our daily lives and vocations be “the house of God and the gate of heaven.” It can – and must – happen. And it will happen. the living Christ will make it happen through us as we dwell with him in life appropriately disciplined in the spiritual Kingdom of God. (Dallas Willard, The Spirit of the Disciplines, xii)
