very enlightening. Very relevant.
I appreciate the insight on how to equip the congregation in this fight! The nature of an elder is to protect the flock. If we see things destroying God’s people, we must educate ourselves in the matter and teach, even if it is not an area we struggle with in particular. Help me Lord! Help us all!
The whole course #103, Spiritual Maturity, was very convicting. I greatly appreciated going through the Spiritual Maturity booklet section by section. I found blind spots that I know I need to pay attention to and I am convicted to do so. Thank you for 12 great lessons.
it’s a challenge but it helps me to know the many things that God will help you through.
