Revised
Intro: At Redeemer we talk about how 'the gospel' is the cure for whatever ails you, but the gospel does not heal and grow you simply by knowing the doctrine. (It is not less than that--but it takes more.) The gospel must be 'prayed in' to the heart and experienced if it is to shape our whole lives. Put another way (just as valid!) the gospel must be used to experience and meet God himself.Traditional evangelical Protestant spirituality is 'the Quiet Time":

I found myself in trouble and went looking for my Lord; my life was an open wound that wouldn't heal. When friends said, "Everything will turn out all right," I didn't believe a word they said.
