Having Faith Does Not Mean

The Possibility Of Transformation Is The Essence Of Hope.

If We Do Not Become Changed From The Inside-out - If We Don't Morph - We Will Be Tempted To Find External Methods To Satisfy Our Need To Feel That We're Different From Those Outside The Faith. If We Cannot Be Transformed, We Will Settle For Being Informed Or Conformed.

One Reason Why We Fail To Hear God Speak Is That We Are Not Attentive. We Suffer From What Might Be Called 'spiritual Mindlessness.'

God Has Entrusted Us With His Most Precious Treasure - People. He Asks Us To Shepherd And Mold Them Into Strong Disciples, With Brave Faith And Good Character.

One Of The Great Misconceptions About Spiritual Growth That Develops In A Lot Of Churches Is That Information Alone Is Adequate To Produce Transformed Human Beings. So If We Want To Have A Church Of Spiritually Mature People, Let's Just Keep Cramming More And More Information Into Them... Information Alone Is Not Adequate For The Transformation Of The Human Personality.
