Four Measures of Spiritual Growth
How can we measure spiritual growth?
We can easily use the wrong metrics and arrive at the wrong conclusion.
Pastors often measure how well the church is doing by things like attendance, buildings, and giving. But those are secondary measures, not ones central to the mission Jesus gave us - to make disciples.
Or individually we can measure ourselves by religious activity, things like church involvement, leading bible studies, doing our devotions, and the like. And if we're doing well in those areas feel like we're doing well spiritually. But those aren't the primary measures either.
So how can we measure spiritual growth?
In this episode I give four measures for spiritual growth.
