Christ, His Church, and His Cause

These "Journey" documents have been designed to help us in our spiritual growth.  Each one is designed to develop a key area of our relationship with Christ, His church, and His cause.  We believe that none of us have "arrived" in our spiritual life.  Rather, all of us are journeying together.

Chances are, if we are reading this information, something inside us is unsettled.  Every so often, something in our hearts stirs and seems to say, "It's time to grow."

Our spiritual life needs to be nurtured as much as our physical life.  Just as we need food, rest, and exercise to grow physically, we need to be intentional about our growth in Christ.  However, as many of us have found out the hard way, spiritual growth is not always easy.  Growth seems sluggish and difficult at times.  Yet something inside us continues to seek for more.

Growth is a process.  Or, as we like to put it, growth is a journey.  The path to spiritual maturity is ongoing.  And just like any journey, there are going to be some seasons where the road is smooth and straight...and there will be other seasons where the path is challenging, filled with potholes and blanketed in fog.

This Journey information will not eliminate all the potholes and fog in life.  Nor will it make that inner ache for growth disappear.  That ache is something God has placed in us to keep us growing.  However, we hope that it will become helpful guides to us as we continue to travel on the road to spiritual maturity and to fulfilling God's purposes in life.
