Elements of Basic Growth
The older I get the more I see that spiritual growth is the ultimate priority in life…because our spiritual growth, or the lack of it, controls every other area of our lives. When we are growing spiritually in Christ every other area of our lives is growing as well.
Spiritual growth is foremost and central to all personal growth…it is the ultimate priority and yet it is without a doubt the most neglected priority. Churches are filled, quite honestly, with spiritual infants.
It’s God’s intention that you and I:

– Become mature –
– Grow up into Christ Jesus.

John MacArthur says, “We don’t hear much about spiritual growth these days. Many Christians in our society have been diverted by various teachings that promise power, spiritual energy, and success without the process of growth into spiritual maturity
