Hinderances to Spiritual Growth in the Church

On the glamorous wall of the famous church in downtown Nairobi, a powerful hymn song "Pick up the cross and obey Jesus" has been cast. Many faithful fellowman enthusiastically exclaimed the words in their stomach. But how many of them actually accepted the cross and obeyed Christ? Many think that it is enough to go to church every Sunday. There is no one who reads the Bible in time and prays for himself. However, to build a relationship with God, effort is necessary.

In the church, this is about a pesky business, mental growth. If groups of people gather, agree on a common goal, then try to live along these goals, confusion will arise. In particular, different people in the body of Christ are in different stages of spiritual growth. Remember that the apostle Paul wrote all letters except one of his letters to solve the problem of the original church. Believers are happening then, they are going today as well.

There is no doubt that early persecution had a profound impact on the growth of the Christian church. Some believe that it will contribute to the growth of the Church, while others insist that it actually hinders the growth of the Church. Tertullian said "The blood of the martyr is a species of the church." I believe that because of the limited nature of early persecution, they did not significantly delay the spread of Christianity. Certainly, persecution by Nero and Domitian hands is a precedent to future persecution of Christianity.

Church growth should always be evaluated to ensure that growth is correct or due to Biblical reasons. Another theological problem is to ensure that spiritual leaders and churches do not acclimatize to the world and how they do things. The Bible is a roadmap to ensure that spiritual leaders and churches do not go along the wrong path or deviate from a mentally correct path. Gangle believes that the church should not be fascinated by spiritual fashion and slogans. John MacArthur warns that abandonment of the scripture as a guiding principle has led the church to the most critical abuse. These abuses include worldly artists' introductions to worship services, side shows of carnival themes, and wrestling performance. Ganger was urged to write this subject. Because he was noticed and read about the church's church which pursued their mental health from the perspective of digital growth, not the biblical terminology.
