Speaker: Pastor Mike Lowery

What does spiritual maturity look like? It's two things- it is personal integrity-don't get corrupted by the world and it's public charity-help people who need help. God said that's spititual maturity. Public charity is you're helping people around you. If you never help anybody you're not mature. And personal morality is personal purity, personal integrity-keep yourself unspoiled from the world. How do you know when you've reached spiritual maturity? How are you going to know it? How are you going to know when you are spiritually mature? The same way you know when a plant or a tree is mature. It bears fruit. An apple tree is not a mature apple tree until it starts having apples. A tomato plant is not a mature tomato plant until it starts having tomatoes. The way you know you are spiritually mature is you start bearing fruit.
