Conclusion:
Child of God, I want you to be honest with yourself and with God this morning…if you were to give yourself a grade, with ‘10’ being Extremely Serious and ‘1’ being Not Serious At All, how seriously are you taking this matter of your own personal spiritual growth for the Lord within this last year? How about within the last month or even within the last week? Ask yourself this question, ‘Am I there yet?’
And child of God…If not, then why not? And child of God, if not today, then when??
What a thought to consider today… ‘Are We There Yet?’
