Here are some resources designed to help you on your lifelong spiritual growth journey. They offer teaching, truths and encouragement to keep you moving consistently forward, even when there are bumps and potholes along the road. Our ultimate goal is to be conformed to the image of Christ so we will bring God glory in all we say and do.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
(Romans 12:1-2)
