Discipline and Discovery

In DOC founder Albert Edward Day's seminal book, Discipline and Discovery, he provides practical, daily suggestions for developing the scriptural disciplines of:

obedience
simplicity
humility
frugality
generosity
truthfulness
purity
charity

Aware that all persons fall short of their ideals, the DOC further recommends the following disciplines which its members seek to practice.

The Discipline of Private Prayer – daily engaging in Biblical and spiritual reading, meditation and prayer.
The Discipline of Personal Commitment – a life that emphasizes the above scriptural disciplines as positive means of minimizing selfish desires and promoting better awareness of God and other persons.
The Discipline of Small Group Fellowship – meeting regularly for prayer and sharing.
The Discipline of Active Church Participation – personal involvement in the life and ministry of a local congregation.
The Discipline of Witness and Service – creative effort to share the good news of the Christian faith and to minister to the needs of others.
The Discipline of Stewardship – response to God's gracious gifts by responsible use of these gifts in support of worthy ministries and by loyal support of the DOC including annual renewal of the membership commitment.
The Discipline of Ecumenical Fellowship – recognition that all persons are created by God and are therefore worthy of Christ's love.

Complimentary copies of Discipline & Discovery are available from the DOC National Office.
