Chris.
We should all be growing in the Lord. This does not just mean growing spiritually. Of course we should be doing that as we grow in the knowledge of the Word of God and Prayer. The fullness of the Holy Spirit also helps us to grow spiritually. We should also be growing emotionally too and in our responses to other people, bringing forth the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Finally we should be growing in our ministries and become increasingly able to do the things that God wants us to do.
