February 06, 2024 04:00 - 53 minutes - 36.7 MBAs followers of Jesus we tend to measure our spiritual maturity by our knowledge of God (theology) and our involvement in church life. Yet, Jesus measures maturity in a different way completely. He tells his disciples that "Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom, but those who do the will of my Father."
