Spiritual growth is important :When? Now!

Spiritual growth is just as important now as it was yesterday, and all the days, nights, weeks, months, and years before this one!
So grow spiritually again this year, here in 2009!

Why is spiritual growth so important?

1. Because you love God!
   
2. To help one draw closer in his relationship to God as a believer.
3. To be able to be a good example to other believers.
4. To be able to be a good example to lost relatives, friends,neighbors, acquaintances, co workers,church visitors,and other lost people in general.
5. To be prepared to be on the look out for false teachings out there that Satan might try to use to lead you astray from the LORD.
6. To help you resist the devil (Satan) temptations to do wrong.
7. To help you warn others about Satan's lies.
8. To help you to encourage other believers to keep serving God.
9. To help you to teach the lost about God!
10. Because Satan and his demons (devils,the fallen angels) are still at large.
11. To help you to be a the kind of wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, neighbor,employer, boss,co worker, acquaintance, husband,father,brother,son,cousin, aunt, uncle, grandparent, teacher,preacher,etc. that God wants you to be.
12. So you can be a light to a world that is in darkness.

God wants you to Spend Time with Him!

For those of you out there who say "I am a Christian" and do not serve God. Tell God you are sorry, and prove it. Spend time with God! Any true friend of God should spend time with him and want too.
What kind of person is a friend when they do not spend time with you? Either they are no friend at all, or a very bad friend. Real friends spend time with each other.
So, make sure to spend some time with God!
