How Are You Living Your Life?

July 21, 2009 @ 7:20 AM  |  Posted By: Karisa Schlehr
Between work, school, and fellowship, we spend a lot of time rushing from one event to another without slowing down. Summertime comes and gives some a chance to relax. But how often do we stop to look at ourselves and how we are living?

"We were told by the Lord to press into the kingdom of God, and even after we enter that kingdom, our pressing on must continue to our life's end," says Dr. Sproul. "Our whole lives are to manifest a passion to grow to our fullest spiritual capacity."

May these resources help you to carefully examine your own heart and life and grow to godly maturity:
