Growing Spiritually versus Growing Physically

Jonathan Moore is a fantastic worship leader and singer and was the full-time music minister for Rex Johnson in Austin, Texas. I admire this guy because he is going out on his own to plant a church in San Antonio Texas. He has been blogging all the activities and feelings associated with such a venture!

Anyway, Jonathan Moore recently wrote something that i think was really cool - i had to share it! Also.....i just had to share a few pics of my little boy Lachlan (see below).

Maturing as a Christian is the polar opposite of maturing mentally & physically as a person. In normal life, as you grow up, you pass milestones that are directing you toward independence (i.e. learning to ride bike, learning to drive, graduating from Jr High, High School, College, getting married, etc). But, as you grow up as a Christian, instead of heading toward independence . . . we actually move toward more dependency on Christ! In fact, spiritual maturity is much more child-like in it’s nature than adult-like.

Remember, in Matt 18:3, Jesus told his followers, “Unless you change and become like little children, you’ll never enter the kingdom of Heaven.”

Thanks Jonathan......i hope you dont mind me using this!

That's someone elses five minutes!
