10 Questions To Ask To Make Sure You Are Still Growing

Most of us can tell when we are physically growing. Like right after Christmas and New Year's and a massive road trip from Indiana to Ottawa to Orlando and back to Indiana!

But, how do we know when we are spiritually growing?

I just received an excellent article today from Discipleship Journal. In it Donald Whitney gives 10 questions to help you discern whether you are maturing spiritually. Here is the link to the article and here are the questions in abbreviated form:
