Böcker av Paul E Sheppard

What thirty-year-old still rides a bicycle with training wheels or plays with dolls? It's unthinkable! And yet -- it's sad to say -- too many Christians hold onto childish spiritual habits, failing to experience the fullness of life as mature followers of Christ. As we grow up, we put away childish ways. We encounter greater risks, responsibilities, joys, challenges, and thrills. All of that is a natural part of life. Boys and girls mature through adolescence, becoming responsible adults. In Spiritual Growth Matters!, Pastor Paul Sheppard reveals God's amazing, joy-filled plan for spiritual growth. When Jesus said, "You must be born again," He didn't intend to fill His church with spiritual babies. Instead, God destined His children to grow in faith, discover purpose, and live out their high calling as mature men and women of faith. Walk into the fullness of your destiny. Experience more peace, joy, and love than you ever thought possible, by growing in intimacy with God. Paul Earl Sheppard is senior pastor of Destiny Christian Fellowship in Fremont, CA.
