Growing in Spiritual Maturity

June 10, 2007 | Comments Off

You know that one of my favorite themes is maturity. I love this quote by Erwin McManus in An Unstoppable Force: Daring to Become the Church God Had in Mind.

“A person who is growing in spiritual maturity is developing emotional health. A person who is growing in spiritual maturity is healing broken relationships and building healthy ones. A person who is growing in spiritual maturity begins to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and no longer allows imaginations of the heart to run riot. A person who is growing in spiritual health begins to treat his or her body as the temple of the Lord and establish personal disciplines that result in overcoming such vices as gluttony. A person who is growing in spiritual health dreams great dreams with God.”

I had the privilege of hearing McManus at the Biola Media Conference this year. He’s an inspiring storyteller and from what I’ve heard, pastors an amazing church.
