Want to Grow in Your Christian Life?

"If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail" ~Ben Franklin

The point of our Christian life is know Christ and to make Him known to the entire world! We are to grow more and more everyday to look like Him in love, action, thought, behavior, prayer, etc. This growth happens daily and only occurs with our initiation and effort. Do you desire to know God more than you ever have? Your college years can be the time of your greatest spiritual growth!

So how do I grow in my faith? Here are some practical helps:
  1. Take the initiative and be intentional about your growth.
    1. Set aside the time and effort needed to grow. (Just as you attend class, read, study, and do homework to get a good grade)
  2. Read your Bible daily.  Practice and apply what you read.
    1. Meditate on what you read each day.
    2. Memorize verses.
  3. Have a daily prayer time. Pray throughout the day.
  4. Attend faithfully and get plugged into a strong Bible believing church .
  5. Attend a weekly Bible study group to enhance your growth and get plugged into a strong community of believers.
  6. Have a ministry to serve in weekly.
  7. Hang around friends who will encourage you in spiritual growth.
Our spiritual life and growth should be one of the most important aspects of our lives. Why would we not have a plan for this area of our lives like we do in other areas of life? If you are serious about growing closer to God and strengthening your faith, then I challenge you to follow this spiritual growth plan for a semester.

The five parts to the Spiritual Growth Plan are:

  1. A Friend Plan
  2. A Reading Plan
  3. A Prayer and Fasting Plan
  4. A Church Plan
  5. A Service Plan
