Talk about it: Deeper Dive
 
 
Spiritual maturity has been misdiagnosed.  You may not be mature if you lead a megachurch or a large ministry or lots of spiritual activity.  You are spiritually mature when you DAILY carry your cross and follow Him.  This requires knowing the Father's love and acceptance in your mind AND your heart: Loving Him with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength.  Then you can do what He calls you to do.
 
Fruit is the LAST thing that is produced.  The apple tree is an apple tree long before it bears fruit.  It just needs to mature to bear fruit.   - idea from Michael Coleman
 
Last week's quote:  In God's kingdom rule, living in fear of Him means taking Him seriously by letting your actions reflect your honor and respect for Him.  (Kingdom Man p. 158)
Does every area of your life reflect this?  Are you authentic?  Are you a man of integrity - nothing missing for the Master's use like a water container that has no cracks or holes?  Does your walk match your talk?
Play at your peak!
