Growth in What Matters Most


“Therefore we do not lose heart.

Though outwardly we are wasting away,

yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”  

II Corinthians 4:16





Imagine the man whose body, soul and spirit flow together in perfect synergy so that God gets all the glory from that Life!

Do you want that for you own life?

Then what we need to understand is the role (or the order, if you will ) of spirit, soul and body and that the spiritually mature man feeds the spirit and brings the soul and body into submission to his own spirit which in turn is in submission to the Holy Spirit.

Though your natural body may be ‘wasting away’, not so the spirit of a man.

It can be renewed (made new) day by day.

Intimate communion, obedience and fellowship with the Spirit of God renews our spirit every day.

There is story after story of men and woman who have lost significant use of parts of their body and yet their relationship with God is soaring.

How come?

Because that relationship is built through our spirit and God’s spirit!

Our attention, our focus then should be on continually developing my spirit to its fullest potential.

How do we do that?

By walking with, listening to and obeying the Spirit of God.
