Untitled Sermon (4)

Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity there is no growth.

C. S. Lewis

Growth in knowledge is indispensable to growth in holiness.

John Stott

The best of all tests of growth is a man’s attitude to God.

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Growth is the only evidence of life.

John Henry Newman

Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth.

A. W. Tozer

Just as the person who has no interest in hearing the Word of God is horribly deceived about his or her spiritual condition, so is the person who is content to hear and not obey.

Roger Ellsworth

God whispers to us in health and prosperity, but, being hard of hearing, we fail to hear God’s voice in both. Whereupon God turns up the amplifier by means of suffering. Then his voice booms.

C. S. Lewis
