Five Signs of Spiritual Maturity

Apologetics, Bible, christian, Melissa Dougherty, Spiritual, spiritual maturity, Theology and Christian Apologetics
By Melissa Dougherty​ We all want to be wise in our spiritual walk. We want to grow and make good choices that are right in the long run. We want to exhibit wisdom in all areas of life and be able to be an example for others. But I find it isn’t always the easy road that gets us there. In my experience, I have witnessed what I would consider very mature Christians who exhibit these qualities. I have also seen others who lack them.

Apologética, Cristianismo, Español, Iglesia, Jesus, Resurrección de Jesus
Por Alisa Childers Nos acercamos a una época del año en la que se celebra la resurrección de un niño nacido de una virgen al que los seguidores llamaron “Buen Pastor” y “Mesías”. Tuvo doce discípulos, hizo milagros y se sacrificó por la paz del mundo. Fue enterrado en una tumba para resucitar de entre los muertos tres días después.
