To experience meaning in life, God invites you to
Grow continually to be like Christ

Researcher George Barna notes, "most people do not feel as if they are learning enough about God, the Christian faith, or their role in the world and most of them don't seem to care." (Barna Online 9/27/05)

The truth is that growth really does bring joy.  "If the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace." (Rom. 8:6b NLT)  However, it is not the Spirit that often controls us.  "If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death." (Rom. 8:6a NLT)  Jesus confronted Peter saying, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men." (Mat. 16:23)  So, what is in your mind/heart?

You can experience joy by growing.  By putting the right stuff in your mind you can grow and experience great joy. "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." (Rom. 12:2a NIV)

Renovate and renew your mind by letting the Spirit of God teach and guide you.
