THE MARKS OF A MATURE PERSON
Developing a Faith That Works - Part 1 of 15
Overview of James
Rick Warren
Without a doubt, probably the number one cause of problems in the world is immaturity.
I have
counseled hundreds of couples regarding marriage.
The number one marriage problem is people just
need to grow up.
They are acting immature.
We get ourselves into all kinds of problems by saying
immature things, making immature decisions, acting in immature ways.
We just need to grow up.
God's will for every person is that they grow.
In Hebrews 6:1, "Let us go on to maturity."
God says
grow up.
That's why one of the purposes of our church is to help everybody grow spiritually,
emotionally, mentally, in every way and have balanced Christian living.
What is maturity?
How do know when you have arrived?
WHAT MATURITY IS NOT:
Maturity is not age.
It has nothing to do with how long you've lived or how long you've been a
Christian.
You can be a Christian for fifty years and not be mature.
Bumper sticker: "I may be getting
older, but I refuse to grow up."
I've seen some 50 and 60 year old kids.
Maturity has nothing to do
with your age.
Granted, God's ideal is that as we grow older we get more mature, but that's not always
the case.
Maturity is not appearance.
Some people just look mature.
Some people just look more spiritual
than the rest of us.
They look kind of dignified, they look like they're holy.
For the rest of us it's just
tough luck.
The fact is, you can look real spiritual and not be spiritual at all.
