Andrew Gray, a minister in the Church of Scotland, warns that Christians often prize visible spiritual acts—prayer, hope, religious feeling—while neglecting what he calls the “lower duties”: self-denial, mortifying sin, and charity to the poor. He insists these are not optional add-ons, but essential marks of faith. Devotion that bypasses discipline and mercy, he suggests, is quietly incomplete.
