Hipru 5:14

We live in a time where the church speaks the same language, uses the same jargon, and spouts the same perspectives as a world in darkness. The evangelical church has often been willing to reevaluate what it has long believed in response to the world’s social consciousness and moral outrage; yet the world has proven it has no conscience nor respect for what is genuinely moral according to Scripture.

Spiritual maturity is not automatic; it takes work. This plan explores what that work looks like and the starting steps in becoming spiritually mature. This three-day devotional emphasizes that spiritual maturity is developed by obedience to God.

In the second installment of a three-part series, Dr. Ramesh Richard, president of RREACH (a Global Proclamation Ministry) and professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, offers additional thoughts on how adversity and disruption provide not only an "Identity Check" (Part 1), but also a "Maturity Check" for the Believer. Ultimately, there is freedom in living our lives under the shadow and the empowerment of our Trinitarian Christian Faith.

People on Earth are at different spiritual levels, and this diversity is influenced by personal experiences, upbringing, exposure to faith, and individual choices. The Bible recognizes that believers are at different stages of spiritual maturity, and understanding how people at varying spiritual levels interact with God’s Word, His call, can provide insight into how God is working in the world; people of varying spiritual levels need Christ in their lives.
