Spiritual Growth & Discipleship

What is true progress in the Christian life? It is not the accumulation of knowledge or the multiplication of activities — it is the discovery of the face of Christ and your personal transformation into that image. That is progress in Christianity; all other things are added to that. Fellowship, personal prayer, and study of the Word must be directed toward one goal: becoming more like Christ. This may be acceptable when we are baby Christians, but every true minister should be teaching their followers to grow past spiritual infancy. Are you being transformed, or have you settled for religious routine?
