-
They've become ineffectual as Christians.
-
They're no longer growing spiritually, they're just accumulating information.

If you can't follow you can't lead.
-
If you can't be taught, you can't teach.
-
We continue to grow only as long as we stay connected to Christ.
3. Don't get side-tracked.
-
The emphasis of the Christian life is fellowship with Christ.
-
Rules do not create morality; having rules in the head is no substitute for obedience from the heart.
-
It's not about abiding by a checklist, it's about abiding in Christ.
-
The Christian life is not a set of rules; it's a relationship.
-
A successful marriage is based on a relationship with a foundation of love, commitment, and trust.
-
You connect to Christ, and allow Him to become the focus of your existence.
