Are You Growing Your Faith

On Monday evening, I had the opportunity to sit down with several friends with the anticipation of watching Notre Dame win a National Championship for the first time in 25 years.  It didn’t take long before those hopes began to fade as Alabama proved the more impressive team on the field.  Those watching the game with me had no vested interest in either team; they were there for the enjoyment of watching me celebrate or groan in agony at what was happening.  The good news is that rather than rub it in, they took pity and tried to encourage me. We all need encouragement from time to time.

Our lives should be all about ...Faith, Family, and our Future. I want to share with you six  ways to know if you are growing in your faith.  

1.       If you are growing in your faith, you will not be arrogant

2.       If you are growing in your faith, Christ becomes more precious in your life each day

3.       If you are growing in your faith, you will desire to be more like Christ and more aware of how little you really are

4.       If you are growing in your faith, the promises found in God’s Word bring comfort to your heart

5.       If you are growing in your faith, you will love your church family

6.       If you are growing in your faith, your involvement in ministry will increase

I understand that there are many other measurements that could have been shared, but this is a good starting place for each of us.  So, how do you measure up?  Can you say that you are growing in your faith?
