What's cool about God is that he doesn't really make Rules.
He tells us what to do, but he doesn't tell us how, or when, or put crazy parameters around it.
We take what he's said, and try to quantify it, and make it into a Rule.
And then when we break the rules, we feel Bad.
Like reading the Bible. The Bible doesn't say "Read the Bible 30 minutes a day."
It says "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind." God tells us to do it, but he doesn't tell us when to do it or how long to do it.
Yet somehow we feel so guilty if we don't sit down for an hour when we FIRST wake up (Lord knows real Christians don't read their Bibles at night!!!) to read the Bible.
God is freeing. And we secretly hate Rules. They make us feel Bad. So why do we make them?

Nor does he provide a prescriptive program for "how" to specifically renew your mind.
