My Heroes Have Turned Human in Front of Me
My heroes have turned human right in front of me, and I’ve finally realized I’m human as well.

It’s a sad truth that many churches are full of people who have professed saving faith in Christ, attended and served faithfully for twenty to thirty-plus years, taught Sunday school, and read their Bibles, but have not been transformed at all. They’ve gained experience in doing Christian things but haven’t actually grown as a Christian. They’ve mistaken experience for growth.
When we come to Christ, we are trading in the law of sin and death that resides inside of us (Romans 7:23), and trading it in for what James calls “the perfect law, the law of liberty” (James 1:25).
Preaching justification without encouraging sanctification will produce nominal, stagnant Christians who are no more capable of following God ten years down the line as they were ten years before. We’ve gone wide, but now we need to go deep.
