The ‘evolution’ of man in this sense means the development of certain inner qualities and features which usually remain undeveloped, and cannot develop by themselves. If man does not want it, or does not want it strongly enough and does not make the necessary efforts, and get the necessary help, he will never develop. When crisis hits, then what you are on the inside will shine forth but if you have never taken time to develop your inner man, then the outside circumstances of life will be too much for you and crush you.

8:00PM EDT 5/31/2007 Many people never learn that they must deny themselves, take up their cross and follow Christ. Recently I heard Rice Broocks, senior minister of Bethel World Outreach Center in Nashville, Tennessee, say that some people go to the altar so often they must think they are earning 'frequent altar miles' to get into heaven. I found that idea funny because I grew up in a church where, if no sinners came forward to be saved, the preacher made all those who were already saved come up again! Revivalist preaching is a largely American phenomenon that reduces Christianity to its simplest terms: sinners in the hands of an angry God. In the early days of our nation, it allowed ministers to reach large numbers with the gospel in a short amount of time. Today it is used similarly on Christian television.

In a 30- or 60-minute program, the gospel is presented, hearts are touched and an invitation is extended to the audience to make a decision to follow Christ. But as important as that decision is, it is only the beginning of our Christian journey.

Many people naively believe that if they repeat the sinners' prayer, they've secured a place in heaven and their part is done. They never learn that they must deny themselves daily, take up their cross and follow Christ (see Luke 9:23). Watch full movie online free.

That's why, as Broocks observed, the altars of our churches are often full—but there isn't much personal growth in the body of Christ. I believe it's also the reason so many prominent leaders fall into gross sin. They don't allow the Lord to deal with their inner lives, as the apostle Paul did, before they go into ministry. And they don't perform the daily disciplines necessary to walk in holiness and purity. Get Spirit-filled content delivered right to your inbox!.

But it's not only the prominent who fall; they're simply the ones whose sin becomes public. All of us, as John Loren Sandford points out in his important new book, Transforming the Inner Man, need to 'work out [our] own salvation with fear and trembling' (Phil. Sandford and his wife, Paula, have been pioneers in teaching that ministry to the inner man is more than a tool to heal troubled individuals; it is a vital key to the transformation of the heart of every Christian. Years ago they wrote The Transformation of the Inner Man, a 400-page book that sold almost 2 million copies. Recently the Sandfords rewrote the book in two volumes. Volume 1, Transforming the Inner Man, was just released by Charisma House, and I have been devouring it in my quiet times. Eda kartinki na anglijskom.
