Three Stages of Christian Growth

Free BFF CD for qualified full-time ministersThe BFF website specializes in assisting people to both understand the meaning of spiritual growth as well as to grow. We provide an overview of the whole spiritual growth process, have identified three key stages of our spiritual journey (click above) and how Christian leadership fits into this process.

Every Christian must identify where they are on this spiritual growth chart. We must ensure that our communion with the Lord is ongoing and good. We must come to recognize what stymies our growth and then aggressively seek more of God’s grace for those areas. Issues like anxiety, bitterness, difficulties in marriage, parenting are signs that spiritual growth is not properly happening. The Lord wants you to grow deeper spiritually. By His grace and through His Word you can grow!

God wants us to grow spiritually! New life means His involvement in our lives. Here are a few ways that we know this. The Holy Spirit actively works in the lives of His children. He has told us how to avoid slowing down in our growth. The Lord has even told us how to grow in Christ. This practically means living in such a way that more of Jesus Christ is reflected in what we say, think and do. This is, in essence, discipleship.

"I browsed your website and am convinced that your materials can truly help us here. Thank you for being willing to share your knowledge and skills in Discipleship." –Philippines

"I appreciate the work you are doing, and especially the openness with which you are allowing your resources to be duplicated and shared!  It is awesome having your studies laid out both topically as well as by Bible passage -- what a wonderful help in preparing lessons, for personal study, and for encouraging others.  Well done, BFF!" –Uzbekistan

"I just returned from a conference where God convinced me that becoming like Christ is critical to building up His church. The gathering of resources and putting into practice the study and actions of becoming a true disciple is overwhelming on our own. I lead a church plant." –Glasgow Scotland. Read more!

Gospel of Luke

– Following Jesus for Life –

What is really true about Jesus?

With all the rewriting of history around our beliefs going on today, it is all the more essential that we look for the real facts about any important matter.

This is all the more important with regards to what we believe about Jesus Christ. Interestingly, Luke faced the same problems back at the time after Jesus. Whether the authors of these 'new' perspectives of Jesus were hostile or just misinformed, the consequences can be serious.
