The life that impacts life

God's pattern has always been about life giving life. As he breathe life into mankind, and as life is passed on by mankind from one person to another, so is spiritual and personal growth. It is produced in one and passed on to another. That happens in the Body.

Hebrews 10:24 tells us, "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds." Make sure you are in a Body that is growing you up, and make sure you are designing those experiences for the ones you shepherd. If you do that, you are growing people in the way God designed.
