Spiritual Growth

  Faith, in the lordship of Jesus Christ, is beyond denominational divisions. Besides, the manifestation of works of the Holy Spirit, among born-again faithful, do span beyond denominational divisions. If God is here and also there, though we both mutually disagree with each other on several issues, those mistakes are marginal in the sight of the lord compared to the love of the lord toward us, at least at this time. The final stamp of approval comes from the fruit of a spirit because all spirit is not the Holy Spirit. But how do we know the right fruit? The foundation we have determines the kind of fruit we admire the most. Fruit is not the number of faithful only but the increase in size and quality of faithful; the standard of quality and measure of perfection being Jesus Christ himself.

But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” After saying these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.” The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” One important point of the above verses is related to the statement that “ … If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble because he sees the light of this world. But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, bec...
