Any parent who has watched their child grow knows the wonder of seeing them transform before their very eyes. Children are in a constant state of becoming, growing, changing and transforming. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. They’re supposed to grow. If they didn’t grow, if they didn’t change, if they weren’t becoming, then we would be worried. Call a doctor. Get a specialist. Something is wrong.
Should it be any different with a child of God as he or she grows to be more like Jesus? Aren’t we to grow spiritually becoming ever more like Jesus? So what’s wrong when someone can be active and involved in church for years, yet show very little life transformation? This message examines the difference and disconnect between church activity and spiritual growth.
