"Christians must not come to church expecting the preacher to chew up their food for them. Growing and mission-focused believers are self-feeders. God has given us his word to correct, rebuke, train and reprove us- to train us for righteousness. The Word of God is given as a means of spiritual maturity and it must lead to transformation." (emphasis in original)
-Ed Stetzer, President of LifeWay Research
At some point the growing and transforming Christ follower must take responsibility for their own development.
