directionsA Focus on Growth by Pastor Jerry Bowling
It is easier to measure numerical growth than spiritual growth. Count the number of people in Bible Study or Worship Service on any given Sunday, and then count again on Sunday a month or two later then compare the difference. We rejoice if the difference reflects a positive numerical rise. We should go back to the drawing board if it is a minus or the same. More than likely we have done something wrong.
Measuring spiritual growth is not quite so easy. Spiritual maturity is generally defined in terms of successfully refraining from sinful activities or aggressive involvement in Christian service. These may or may not represent spiritual growth. Many Christians have no idea how to proceed in spiritual growth even though they may have the desire and motivation to do so. Our spiritual growth must be measured by the progress we are making in being “conformed to the image of Christ.” (Romans 8:28-29)
