Spiritual Maturity

The Stepping Stones of Spiritual Maturity explores our transformation when we bring our true selves before our Creator and the freedom resulting from choosing God’s way. Interwoven with her own transformation story, author Angela Guy looks at how the Sermon on the Mount relates to and deepens the Beatitudes by describing them both as a cross-shaped path toward God’s heart, and stepping stones to cross before we can continue along the path.

Are you called to the prophetic—but secretly afraid of missing God, being misunderstood, or falling into error? You’re not alone. And the dangers are real. Countless prophetic voices have started well but ended in ruin—not because they lacked gifting, but because they didn’t recognize the traps set by the enemy. Pride. Isolation. Inaccuracy. Manipulation. Burnout. These aren’t just weaknesses—they’re spiritual landmines. And if you don’t know where they are, they’ll explode beneath your feet. In “Common Pitfalls of Prophetic Ministry and How to Avoid Them,” you’ll ...

Jamie describes the four basic drives, or motivators, in our lives. They are the drives for security, for recognition, to love and be loved, and the drive for adventure. Then he adds a fifth one, the need to be creative. These are inside us all, and they have been since before we were born. They are neither moral nor immoral. But so much depends on how we use them, how we engage with them. Our life in Christ is largely marked by these drives, and the controls, or delimiters, we place on them.

The "Heavenly Citizens" series serves as a tool to help the Christian understand not only what the Bible teaches us, but also how to study the Bible. Explaining what the Bible teaches is like giving someone a fish to eat. Teaching him how to study the Bible is like teaching someone how to fish so he can feed himself. Both approaches are essential to developing spiritual maturity. "2 Corinthians" is the thirteenth volume in the "Heavenly Citizens" series. The Apostle Paul begins with a greeting from God to the Church in Corinth. Then he slowly enters the fray, wanting to tone it done a bit ...

The human flesh is perhaps the most subtle enemy of humanity. In all ages, many are those who have fallen victims to their flesh than those by the devil. Even, many things, for which the devil has been accused, are nothing other than the works of the flesh. Stop pointing the accusing fingers at the devil; rather learn to master your fleshly nature. Until you do this, you will remain an irresponsible Christian. Overcoming the fleshly nature will empower you to master your flesh and be free from the works of the flesh.

This edition is a companion piece to the previous issue of One Possible Happening. The first volume was a short examination of the existence of a Supreme Being in three ways: by logical reason, by sacred reason, and by faith in the Bible. The use of logical reason compares a definition of God to the existence of the cosmos. A discussion of sacred reasoning adds characteristics of knowledge, power, and everlasting love to the notion of God. And the reasoning by faith in the Bible enriches the concept of a God who loves His creation and seeks interaction with the human soul. A Perfect Reason ...

How would you respond to Jesus? Why are you so afraid? (Mark 4:40) Is your heart still hardened? (Mark 8:17) What do you want me to do for you? (Mark 10:51) Who are you looking for? (John 18:7) Questions are invaluable for processing new information and building understanding. People who don't ask questions aren't listening for answers. Asking questions strengthens or fortifies personal relationships. Christ’s questions cover a broad spectrum of topics, including: discipleship, healing, identity, obedience, purpose, resurrection, truth, vision, and more. 311 Questions Jesus Asked is a ...

Discipleship redeemed is an apologetic addressing widespread disillusion that many churches hold with respect to Christ's method of multiplying his ministry at the end of his earthly ministry.

In this study, we will examine the parable of the unmerciful servant. This parable expresses the responsibility of the believer to forgive (Matthew 18:21-35). When Peter asked Christ about forgiveness, He responded to him with this parable. Within this story, we see the unlimited forgiveness of God. In addition, we discover the responsibility of His servants to be like him. Let us learn to forgive others as God, for Christ’s sake, forgave us. As we learn from this parable, we will stay on the path to true discipleship.

In the spirit, I see the sun setting over the horizon, casting golden hues across the sky. The mature bride and mature son stand overlooking the ocean's expanse.

These are essential character traits that distinguished Jesus during His life on earth. This ...
