Maturity in the Christian faith is not a function of time on task, or time in church, but about being a person who lives by the Spirit.

Maturity in the Christian faith is not a function of time on task, or time in church, but about being a person who lives by the Spirit.
The Church is the fellowship of the Holy Spirit shared in the bonded attachment of the sons and daughters of God caught up in the bonded love of Father-Son-Holy Spirit.
We just have to get over the “God would you please do this” mentality and into the “Jesus you have done and are doing this” faith.
The second half of the gospel is an ongoing process of transformation we must be taught and trained to enter into and live out.

We live in a world consumed with and broken by the love of power. We are inheriting a kingdom being established on and built up by the power of love.
If delighting in God is the source of our joy, then our becoming devoted to one another is the source of God’s joy.
We so easily turn our deep need to trust and depend on God and others to depending on substitutes, ranging from self-reliance to substances.
