Tools for Spiritual Growth in 2024
Date: December 27, 2023 Host: Jim Schneider Guest: Randy Melchert MP3 | Order
The Bible tells us in 2 Peter 3:18, “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” So while you may be growing in other aspects of your life, are you growing in your spiritual life? If not, what changes are you willing to make as we approach the new year?
You may answer by asking, “How can I do that? What resources are available that can help in my quest to obey 2 Peter 3:18?
Joining Jim to answer that question was Randy Melchert. Randy is a school administrator, a researcher, a consultant and a member of the VCY America Board of Directors.
Randy began by presenting some statistics that show just how critical the need is for resources and tools to help people in their spiritual growth and development. This is important because in spite of all the Bibles available in print form as well as through internet sources and apps, in America there’s actually a spiritual famine taking place.
He cited https://futureofamericanchristianity.wordpress.com/ where it’s said that 80% of young millennials reject the idea that there are clear standards for right and wrong. The American Bible Society’s annual survey says that just since COVID, 26 million people have stopped reading the Bible. Also, the Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, claims that this past year, 100,000 self-described evangelical protestant women had an abortion.
Such statistics are why VCY America offers resources to help you become acquainted with God’s word so that 2 Peter 3:18 is not only a reality for you, but a joy and something you look forward to daily as you seek a deeper relationship with your Creator!
