Spiritual

You can make the spiritual life as mystical as you want to, but growth comes down to two things: The Spirit’s control and common sense. It’s that simple … and that hard.

The Spirit can and will overpower the sinful nature every time. Part of the growth process involves God allowing me to learn dependence upon his Spirit or caving to my own sinful desires.

The key to spiritual life is surrender. I must always relent to the Spirit for the resources and strength to please God.

Acknowledge the battle. That’s the first step in the spiritual growth process called sanctification.

A savior must be sinless to die sacrificially for the sin of others. Since all humans are sinful, he must be God, and to die on man’s behalf; he must be man.

Paul says that our struggles are not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces.

We must never look down on our youth. They are tomorrow’s church.

Here is a prayer that addresses daily spiritual needs.

We are confident that God will complete the good work he has started in us.
