I must post something

Tonight's service was awesome. We talked about the idea of passive Christian growth versus active Christian growth. The discernment exercise was from an article published about willowcreek church. They finally realized that "seeker friendly" churches don't really promote growth and discipleship. They tend to think growth is passive (something done to the person) instead of active (something a person does). We then went through a few different verses (Rom 12:1, 2 Tim 2:15, 2 Peter 1:7-10) that demonstrated that spiritual growth is something that a person pursues, not something you have happen to you without effort.
