So… Hilary and are 6 1/2 months pregnant. (We’re very excited about that, by the way!) I’m also starting to feel some of the soon-to-be realities coming on. Life will change dramatically, I realize. But in the bigger picture, we’re talking about a human life here! Someone who will be completely dependent on Hilary and me for EVERYTHING… and someone who will look like and behave like Hilary and me. Exciting… and scary!
Someone wise once taught me that “We reproduce what we are.” When it comes to a kid, he will be impacted by who I am. Not just my DNA, but also my habits, my language, my spiritual growth, etc. It’s a blessing, and a big responsibility.
From a church point of view, we’re leading and participating in Rooted Groups, Life Groups, Volunteer Teams… and we’re reproducing who we are. Our teams and groups reflect us. That begs the question: Are you growing? Are you continuing in the life that God has marked out for you? Obviously, none of us are perfect. But we all want to make sure we’re going (and growing) in the right direction. Jack Hayford told me: “God is not as interested in our perfection as He is in our direction.”
THIS SUNDAY, I’m excited to talk about the SECRET of spiritual growth. This will be an encouraging message. I look forward to seeing you this weekend.
