I Must DecreaseAuthorHouse, 2003 M02 3 - 124 pages I Must Decrease parallels four seemingly unrelated subjects to demonstrate the universality of God's principles. These principles then demonstrate various levels of spiritual growth available to Christians. Characteristics of Christians at the various levels help us to identify our level of development, and as these subjects are examined, the importance of some form of self-denial becomes apparent. At the same time, it is demonstrated that God appreciates us as individuals and seeks a merging of our individual personalities with God's Spirit. Whatever your level of Scriptural knowledge or spiritual growth, you will encounter new ideas and ways to look at the Scriptures and your life. |
