"If you're not growing, if you're not walking with Jesus; if you're not being challenged by Jesus, if you're not learning from Jesus; if you're not receiving the forgiveness and restoration and mercy of Jesus, if you're not paying attention: Then even the past fruit of your life will shrivel up and blow away. See the Christian life is either growing or dying. And most people who think they're standing still are dying; they're dying. It's grow or die. And those who pay attention grow.These words are life, they really are. But you have to pay attention. You have to kneel before a king, not rub your chin and take advice from a good teacher. And when we're doing that a change will happen, it just will. Not because we're pursing change. Converts will happen not even because we're pursing converts; because we're pursing Jesus. Change happens because you pursue Jesus not because you pursue change. Discipleship happens not because you're pursuing discipleship but because you're pursuing Jesus."~Sharad Yadav (my Pastor!)
