A Quote by John Bevere

Physical maturity is bound to time. Spiritual maturity is bound to obedience. — © John Bevere
Physical maturity is bound to time. Spiritual maturity is bound to obedience.
Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God.
Spiritual maturity does not mean that we will never make wrong plans. In fact, spiritual maturity often means having the courage to admit we've made the wrong plans.
Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity. The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations.
In Christ we see a maturity of love that flowers in self-sacrifice and forgiveness; a maturity of power that never swerves from the ideal of service; a maturity of goodness that overcomes every temptation, and, of course, we see the ultimate victory of life over death itself.
Spiritual maturity is a lifelong pursuit. We grow in spiritual maturity moment by moment, day by day, year by year.
There are no shortcuts to spiritual maturity. It takes time to be holy.
To be bound by hungers is a beautiful thing but to be bound by physical hungers only is too low a state for man.
With maturity comes the wish to economize - to be more simple. Maturity is the period when one finds the just measure.
Yes, maturity in life brings maturity to the music I make.
Maturity comes from obedience, not necessarily from age.
We do not ignore maturity. Maturity consists in not losing the past while fully living in the present with a prudent awareness of the possibilities of the future.
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.
If you're living two lives and you're lying to everyone, you're bound to slip up, in some way, you're bound to get something wrong, and you're bound to get found out.
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right - stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.
When what has been created in time according to the temporal order has reached maturity, it ceases from natural growth. But when what has been brought about by the knowledge of God through the practice of the virtues has reached maturity, it starts to grow anew. For the end of one stage constitutes the starting point of the next.
