What do you think is the biggest hindrance to spiritual growth? According to Dallas Willard, hurry is the greatest enemy of spiritual life. Like Martha, we are too busy and distracted. In order to grow, we have to get rid of the hurry in our life. How? We put a priority on spending time with Jesus. Before the gospel is a call to doing, it is an invitation to be with Jesus. When we receive his love and life through his word, we are enabled to follow Jesus daily.
